Marinella di Selinunte: posidonia removal begins, port to be

Marinella di Selinunte: posidonia removal under way

Work has begun to fully restore the operational capacity of the port of Marinella di Selinunte (Castelvetrano, Trapani) after deposits of posidonia reduced the harbour's activity.

• Funding: the Region allocated 526,000 euro for removal and landfill disposal of the accumulated material.
• Contractor: the contract was awarded to Cogis Srl of Maletto, with a bid reduction of 9.87%.
• Timeline: completion is expected within approximately two months from the start of works.
• Purpose: to restore port functionality, support the local fishing community and recreational boating, and provide positive effects for area tourism.

Regional authorities say the intervention followed technical analyses of the deposits and is intended to ensure accessibility and safety of the harbour ahead of the summer season.
