The sea cannot only be taken, it must also be given.
00:58
Today art is part of this project to save nature.
01:29
The project aims to build a large protected area from the damage of stray fishing.
01:37
It is an indiscriminate fishing, there are nets that scratch the bottom and have at least two negative effects.
01:45
The first is the indiscriminate capture of organisms,
01:49
organisms that are often thrown dead in the sea.
01:58
The second is the indiscriminate capture of organisms that are thrown dead in the sea.

The blocks were insufficient, so I bought them and thousands of tourists helped me pay for them.
02:13
The blocks were installed to create a large protected area to prevent the passage of stray fishermen
02:22
from entering the area.
02:28
In addition to these blocks, which have a mechanical function to prevent entry,
02:38
statues were also placed, which are the contribution of various artists.
02:43
Today there are more than 800 dissuasive units, cement blocks,
02:47
and with the new project La Casa dei Pesci we have reached 39 works of art.
02:54
The intention is to put 100 in the sea, but we need donations, we need someone to help us,
03:00
otherwise we will never be able to do it ourselves.
03:17
The project has been in operation for more than 10 years.
03:22
The project has been in operation for more than 10 years.
03:27
The project has been in operation for more than 10 years.
03:34
Of course, years have passed and from the first installation in the sea we have seen a beautiful result.
03:41
The illegal fishing has increased by 98%.
03:46
Art has contributed to enrich a territory like the Maremma,
03:51
where the works have repopulated our seas and will enrich sustainable tourism.
03:59
Going underwater, immersing yourself and being faced with 39 works of art,
04:05
of which all the contracts of Siena, various works of a certain value,
04:12
is exciting.
04:15
Perhaps there is no better feeling than those who go to the sea,
04:19
who immerse themselves in the discovery of the foundations,
04:22
enriching them in every way for what concerns the environment.
