FESTIVAL OF THE TEGNÙE: SEA FILMS FESTIVAL

08/16/2017-08/18/2017
Piazza Aurora, h 9 pm

The coast of Jesolo is characterised by the presence of some of those small reefs – Venetian characteristic in the Mediterranean Sea scenario – called Tegnùe: real treasures of biodiversity, they are the habitat of many sea animal and flora species that make it an irreplaceable “lung” of life for the entire Upper Adriatic Sea.
The so-called Tegnùa 125, located 3 miles from the coast in correspondence of Piazza Drago and Piazza Mazzini is about 16,000 sq m large and is at a depth between fifteen and nineteen metres; to the east, a mile further away there is another smaller one (about 5,000 sq m) and at a slightly greater depth.
The Tegnùa di Cortellazzo is particularly beautiful: it is located three miles from the coast of this hamlet, is 10,000 sq m large and is at a depth between seventeen and twenty metres. In each of these there are many – among the others – starfish, sponges, crabs, sea-eels, small cods and (the real kings of the Tegnùe!) suspicious and full of grit lobsters. All in a multicoloured stream of life and sea harmony.

The event is realised by the Assessorato all’Ambiente (Environmental Department) of Veneto Region and promoted by the Assessorato all’Ambiente (Environmental Department) of the Municipality of Jesolo.
