• Different species composition & diversity
• Heterotrophy (prey on large zooplankton)
• Resilient species – “Cockroaches”
• Recruitment and settlement differ
• Different environmental histories
• Management under extreme conditions

IMPACT OF RECREATIONAL DIVING ON THE
“ZENOBIA” SHIPWRECK

IMPACT OF RECREATIONAL DIVING ON BENTHIC COMMUNITIES
DIVING IS RAPIDLY-GROWING COMPONENT OF THE INTERNATIONAL TOURISM INDUSTRY, ESPECIALLY IN THE MEDITERRANEAN SEA.
DIVERS CAN EASILY DAMAGE MARINE ORGANISMS THROUGH PHYSICAL CONTACT WITH THEIR HANDS, BODY, EQUIPMENT, AND
FINS.

We have chosen three areas to be sampled using transects, two "impact" zones (zone A and B), selected according to the classic routes that divers (recreational or otherwise) running on the shipwreck and, therefore, the possible impact that we decided to quantify, and a "control" zone (zone R).

CONCLUSION
Our results suggest that the diving is having a significant impact on the macroalgae coverage of the shipwreck, especially in areas subject to high levels of use where divers come into contact with the hull.

Future research
• Mucilage causes
• Effect of air bubbles on the
wreck’s ecology
• Effect of oil
• Further studies on the
coralligenous communities and
