The Marine Protected Area of Isole Ciclopi extends for the most part into the territory of Acicastello and on into a small portion of Acireale. It is an enchanting natural proscenium surmounted by the stately profile of Etna.
Founded by government decree on December 7th 1989 in order to protect, along with the countryside's beauty and cultural heritage, its extraordinary wealth of sea organisms which populate this part of Sicily, the Protected Coastal Area is managed by a consortium which is composed of the C.U.T.G.A.N.A. of the University of Catania and the Municipality of Acicastello.
This consortium, named Isole dei Ciclopi, has since 2001 occupied itself with safeguarding an inestimable patrimony, a part of nature's scenery rich in animal and plant species, and also in the archaeological heritage of various eras. As in any place where nature is protected, one must observe a few simple rules of behaviour which are necessary to ensure that the environmental heritage for which we are responsible may be passed on in its entirety to future generations.
