What is the Pelagos Sanctuary?

 

The Pélagos Sanctuary is a marine protected area created by an agreement between France, Italy and the Principality of Monaco to protect the marine mammals (dolphins, whales, sperm whales...) that live in the north-western Mediterranean. This maritime territory is exceptional for its biodiversity and abundance of protected species.

This area is also known as the "Cetacean Sanctuary", and is the first cross-border area in the Mediterranean dedicated to the protection of marine mammals in their natural habitat.

The sanctuary covers around 87,500 km².

On the Mediterranean coast it stretches from the Giens peninsula in the Var to Genoa in Italy.

It extends as far north as Sardinia, encompassing Corsica.
