Mare Morto buoy field. Mooring authorisations 2026

From 26 May it is possible to submit applications for mooring authorisations at the buoy field in the Mare Morto area.

92 mooring places are currently available, divided into categories: 6 for small-scale artisanal fishing, 2 for fishing tourism, 2 for hire and rental activities, 2 for diving activities, 1 for guided tours and passenger transport, 4 for short-term mooring of recreational craft and 75 for long-term mooring of recreational craft.

Places are assigned through a ranking list drawn up on the basis of the applications received. Each application may concern one vessel only. If not all the places available for a given category are assigned, they may be redistributed to the short-term and long-term mooring categories in chronological order of application. Should further places become available beyond the initial 92, they will be assigned by working down the ranking list.

Applications must be made using the form downloadable at the end of this page, or collected at the Marine Protected Area offices at the Centro Polivalente in via Tharros. A copy of a valid identity document must be attached.

For hand delivery, ask the clerk to record the date and time of receipt.
