Le Jardin (Porto-Pollo)
A deep shoal off Porto-Pollo on the northern side of the Gulf of Valinco, from about 30 to 50 m. Purple gorgonians and a Savaglia colony more than a metre tall grow on the rock, with dentex, groupers and rich coralligenous life; a second shoal nearby has tunicates on its west face.
