The Gulf of La Spezia is a wonderful bay overlooking the Ligurian Sea. Also known as the Gulf of Poets, it is one of the most suggestive coastal areas in Italy and the Mediterranean, characterized by rocky coasts, sandy beaches, and crystal clear waters, a place of great natural interest where fauna and flora are still very rich and varied. In the Gulf of La Spezia, which has inspired great poets such as Lord Byron and Percy Shelley, it is famous for the production of mussels and oysters. This year, an increase in sea temperature has been recorded, which is putting a strain on the natural cycle of numerous species of fish and mollusks, including the famous mussels and oysters of La Spezia, as well as cetaceans, dolphins, sea turtles, and migratory birds. Fishermen have been forced to use nets and other equipment to prevent the death of the "muscles" (as they call mussels in La Spezia) and oysters due to the high water temperature and the tripling of predators. They work with shallow nets that offer little protection against sea bream. They have started using mussel seeds that are more resistant to heat and acidification, including mussels that come from Spain, which have been cultivate in La Spezia but sell as Spanish mussels. Acoustic signals cannot be used as they would disturb cetaceans and military personnel who carry out underwater recordings and exercises. Many consumers are not aware that consuming mussels can help reduce greenhouse gas emissions, as clams absorb CO2 present in the water.
