History
The Zenobia ferry sank in 1980 and quickly became an artificial reef; Larnaca’s harbor has long linked the island’s salt trade and seafaring traditions.
Conservation
Posidonia meadows in the bay are ecologically important—avoid touching seagrass and use reef‑safe products; operators aim to minimize anchoring on sensitive beds.
