Half art gallery…Forty blocks of Carrara marble, several carved into figures by name sculptors, standing on a seagrass plain. Half art gallery, half weapon, each block is placed to shred illegal trawl nets. Fish life has exploded around them. The project of one furious fisherman, Paolo Fanciulli, who watched illegal trawlers strip the Maremma seabed and started sinking marble to stop them. The Michelangelo quarry at Carrara donated the blocks; artists carved them for free. The seagrass and the fish came back. Anchorage: Anchor off Talamone / berth in Porto di Talamone; a short RIB ride out. Hazards: No site-specific hazards noted, brief normally. Mehr
