History
Favignana’s economy was shaped by the Florio family’s tonnara (tuna fisheries) and by quarrying—both left visible marks on the coast and village infrastructure.
Conservation
The islands sit within the Egadi Islands marine protection frameworks; operators emphasize limited anchoring and protection of seagrass meadows to preserve underwater habitat.
