Located at the west coast of Sardinia, the Protected Marine Area Penisola del Sinis is an area of contrasting landscapes. It is home to thriving vegetation and a unique wildlife population. The local community is dedicated to finding environmentally sustainable means to protect coastal dunes and coastal bluffs from eroding. A big initiative is to promote the greater use of bicycles as a means of transportation, also selective waste collection and energy saving measures such as solar energy. Actions to protect local habitats and species from overfishing have been taken. Penisola del Sinis became a Destination of Excellence in 2009, awarded in the category "Tourism and protected areas".
