In trouble three divers who together had managed to take away 325 specimens of the precious echinoderm. It happened yesterday around noon and the men of the maritime patrol of the Naval Base of the Forestry Corps of Alghero, coordinated by the departmental Inspectorate of Sassari, surprised the illegal fishermen.
