Eni, through the words of Luca DeCaroHead of the Central Northern District, underlined the importance of synergy with the territory of Ravenna during the Wild Mussel Festival in Ravenna Marina.
Sustainable fishing and marine habitat conservation
The fishing of wild mussels by local fishermen and the conservation and study activities of the Centro Sperimentale Tutela degli Habitat represent a virtuous example of connection with the territory. Both activities are closely linked to the Eni platforms, in particular to their submerged parts, which become refuges for numerous fish species, including the mussel, thanks also to the protection provided by the interior of the surrounding areas prohibited to fishing.
The importance of the marine environment for biodiversity
The optimal water conditions favor the development of the mussel, transforming it into a prized and highly sought-after culinary product on the market. In addition, sea turtles find in this environment a sanctuary that allows them to recover the energy needed for long migratory journeys. This synergy not only enhances the territory, but also contributes to the conservation of marine biodiversity.
Transforming platforms for energy transition
In addition to sustainable fishing and the conservation of the marine environment, Eni is making a significant contribution to the energy transition and circularity with the reuse of platforms as CO2 storage hubs. This initiative promotes a green approach to the management of methane platforms in Adriaticdemonstrating a concrete commitment to environmental and energy sustainability.
The synergy between Eni and the territory of Ravenna translates into virtuous initiatives that promote environmental sustainability and the protection of marine biodiversity. Collaboration with local fishermen, researchers and volunteers shows how cooperation can lead to positive results for the environment and the community. The transformation of offshore platforms into green structures highlights Eni’s commitment to the transition towards a sustainable energy future.
