The Government of Catalonia has declared the Derelicto Illes Formigues II as a cultural asset of national interest under the archaeological zone category (Art. 1). The measure establishes a protection perimeter comprising the core of the site and a 25-metre peripheral buffer (Annex 2). Strict restrictions are imposed on research activities, vessel anchoring, and the installation of underwater infrastructure to ensure heritage conservation (Art. 2).
For the nautical and maritime services sector, vessel anchoring and the placement of buoys or markers that could affect the site or its anchoring lines are prohibited (Art. 2.b). Infrastructure and energy companies face limitations on the installation of cables, pipelines, or wind turbine bases within the protected area (Art. 2.b). Any research or prospecting activity involving metal detectors requires prior authorisation from the Department of Culture (Art. 2.a).
