- ZONE A - Zones A, maximum protection, are two, coinciding with the features of the surrounding sea Punta Mesco and Capo Monte Negro.
- ZONE B - The two areas "B", the general reserve, include limited stretches of beach close to both areas "A".
- ZONE C - The "C" area, that is to say the marine area of partial reserve, comprises the residue of sea delimited by the outside perimeter of the WAP and adjoining, towards the inside, with the two areas "B" .
What are the protected species of fauna and flora within this area?
The great variety of plant and animal species is due to the diverse characteristics of the seabed, the ocean currents, the variable salinity of the water, the variations in light intensity.
In a relatively small bottom surface, they share the habitat many species, some infrequent in other Mediterranean resorts, for example, among the fans, the polychrome gorgonian (Leptogorgia sarmentosa) and the white gorgonian (Eunicella verrucosa), a rare species in the Mediterranean but quite common in these waters - similar plants to the corals to speak.
The rock walls that go deep are colonized by species that can thrive even in poor lighting conditions, up to reach the coral. The oceanic Posidonia (F. Buracchi / Panda Photo), however, is a higher plant rather widespread on sandy bottoms: in the Monterosso area, from Punta Mesco at Fegina beach, there is a real prairie that stretches from a depth of 5-8 meters to 20-25 meters.
