    Additional information The data are derived from the original CDDA - Nationally Designated Areas dataset ( https://www.eea.europa.eu/data-and-maps/data/nationally-designated-areas-national-cdda-16 ), extracting the areas relating to Italy. The class 'Marine natural areas and reserves (protected and of international interest)' contains areas with explicit marine or marine/terrestrial designation; the class 'Coastal natural areas and reserves' contains additional non-marine areas that intersect a buffer of 1km from the coastline. Further information on marine protected areas in Italy can be found on the MITE page: https://www.mite.gov.it/pagina/aree-marine-protette
