About two thousand specimens of sea urchins were seized this morning by the soldiers of the Olbia Coast Guard .
The operation was possible thanks to the collaboration with the men of the Olbia detachment of the Sassari traffic police , who have long been committed to countering the illegal taking of specimens of sea urchins by unauthorized fishermen.
An administrative fine of one thousand euros was also triggered.
All the fish , found still in a vital state, was then loaded onto a Coast Guard patrol boat and thrown back into the sea , in an area agreed with the Marine Protected Area of Tavolara - Punta Coda Cavallo.
