This finding was from hulls of boats moored in several marinas in Sicily: Marina Villa Igiea in Palermo, Porto dell'Etna in Riposto, Porto Turistico Marina di Ragusa in Marina di Ragusa, and Marina di Cala del Sole in Licata. The same study also found Hydroides dirapmhus in Porto Turistico di Roma in Lido di Ostia. |
