Exotic marine life of Italy's 'Blue Grotto' under threat from boom in tourism One of the world's most extraordinary marine environments risks being destroyed by its popularity.

The interior of Grotta Azzurra, "Blue Grotto", at Palinuro in the far south of Italy's Amalfi coast, is pitch black because of the narrowness of the cave's entrance. Yet the grotto's waters teem with exotic marine life, including giant sponges, oversize mussels and lobsters, and luridly colored coral.
