This work is part of an environmental monitoring project conducted by Ispra since 2008, with the installation of two marine cables between the Lazio coast and Sardinia. Following the deployment of anti-trawl tripods, since 2017, a new Ispra monitoring plan was established to assess the integrity of the marine environment. The anti-trawl tripods have been periodically analyzed to examine various aspects of the marine area where they have been installed, including any changes in faunal and algal biodiversity resulting from the introduction of artificial structures. This study involves observing recruitment on the anti-trawl barriers to assess the colonization of artificial substrates introduced into the marine environment.
