The Island of San Pantaleo (Mothia) belongs to the Whitaker Foundation, a non-profit corporation under the aegis of the Accademia dei Linci; which guarantees that the archaeological site strictly protected and open to the public. The Stagnone area, the cultural and physical link between Mothia and Lilibeo, is a protected natural reserve administered by the Province of Trapani. The archaeological site of Capo Lilibeo, extending over about over one third of the ancient settlement, has been fully expropriated by the Superintendency for excavation and restoration works.
