Bosco Di Gorgonie

Bosco Di Gorgonie sits off Favignana Island in the Egadi Islands archipelago, off the western coast of Sicily in the province of Trapani. The name translates to forest of gorgonians, pointing to the sea fan colonies that grow on the rocky seabed in this part of the Egadi marine reserve. Divers here have reported Mediterranean red coral, star coral, violescent sea whip, and both yellow and white gorgonians covering the rock, along with mauve stinger jellyfish passing through the water column. Diving around Favignana is typically organized from the island's small port by local dive centers working the surrounding reefs and walls.
