Lampedusa and Linosa, in the Sicily Channel, are the most remote territories of Italy. In these islands Loggerhead Turtles, Shearwaters and Storm Petrels breed each year. Here Birdlife Italy is monitoring the movements of seabirds with satellite radiotags in order to know their flight paths in the open seas and to identify their foraging areas.
