The Gulf of Pozzuoli is a cove located near the city from which it takes its name, Pozzuoli. The gulf is entirely contained within the Gulf of Naples. It winds between Cape Miseno and Cape Posillipo: the distance between the two points is about 6 kilometers. The area concerned is that of the Phlegraean Fields. Geology The main phenomenon affecting the gulf is bradyseism, which in the eighties made it necessary to move the port 50 meters forward from its original location and which is the origin of the archaeological finds from the Roman era of parts of the city now underwater. Monitoring Since 2008, a system for monitoring marine volcanoes called "CUMAS" (Cabled Underwater Module for Acquisition of Seismological data) has been present in the center of the gulf, at a depth of one hundred meters, which is connected in real-time to the monitoring room of the Vesuvius Observatory.
