33 SO.. While none of the single steps of the monitoring programme is entirely new in itself, the integration of different methods and technologies, over different time and space scales provides essential information. When offshore measured data are lacking, a careful integration of in situ data and up-to-date weather and wave simulation can provide a satisfactory evaluation of harbour confort and safety as long as the target area is well defined AND Yes, even a properly designed marina could be unsafe according to modern standards AND Should the regulations be more specific?(open to discussion)

34 THANK YOU A shipping company from Syllectum, Tunisia (Ostia, Rome Harbour, II Century AD) Acknowledgements Italian Air Force Meteorological Centre (CNMCA) provided important data; Lt. Colonel Torrisi s precious help and advice was particularly appreciated. Two private companies: "Mediterraneo Scarl" and "Walcom Italy provided a useful occasion to improve the understanding of marina harbour wave agitation problems.
