These rocks south east of where the Fiume Sile (River Sile) opens into the Adriatic Sea have been called the “Tegnue” by the local fishermen, because they used to catch and break their nets. Tegnue, means “caught”, “held” in the local italian dialect. The environment is super full of life but unfortunately it’s quite common to find an un-transparent waters. This is due to the abundance of plankton, thanks to the nutrients from the rivers. Moreover the anticlockwise circulation brings the limpid, poor and salty waters from the Mediterranean to go back up to the coastline towards Venice. That said, the site is very rich in Lobster and other crustaceans like few other place in the diving world.
