Description
This stamp illustrates the Rustic Dove, a small gastropod with an elongated, spindle-shaped shell, decorated with brown and white marbled patterns.
Very common in Posidonia meadows, it represents the richness of protected marine ecosystems. Its presence on the stamp underlines the importance of micro-habitats which serve as the basis of the food chain in the Mediterranean.
