Unauthorized fishermen in possession of over a thousand sea urchins in La Marinedda, a hamlet of Trinità d'Agultu .
Fine for both and seizure of fish and equipment. The operation is by the Forestry Corps, which has intensified controls after the decree with which the Agriculture Councilor has regulated the calendar and conditions for the collection of sea urchins in the 2024-25 season, in order to safeguard a species at risk of extinction precisely because of a massive and irregular collection .
So, a new seizure after those of the past few days along the coast of Vignola and Cala Sarraina. During a checkpoint in La Marinedda, around 10:30 the Forestry patrol stopped a car with two people on board and found some baskets with over a thousand specimens. Both fishermen were not authorized. It is presumed that they acted at dawn, along the coast that goes from Trinità d'Agultu to Rena Maiore (Santa Teresa Gallura) .
Then the sanctions, the seizure of the sea urchins which, still alive, were immediately released into the sea, and the seizure of the fishing equipment .
