A year ago it seemed that a turning point had been reached, the reclamation seemed to be upon us.
But nothing: all those nylon bags remain on the seashore at Poetto, some intact, some not. That plastic barrier between the water and the shoreline remains there, and environmentalists are back in charge.
The Legal Intervention Group (Grig) tries again for the fifth time involving the Coast Guard, the Municipality of Cagliari, the Superintendence for Archaeology, Fine Arts and the Cagliari Landscape, the Carabinieri of the Nucleus for the Protection of Cultural Heritage, the Forestry and Surveillance Corps environmental. The Public Prosecutor's Office was also informed for any criminally relevant aspects regarding the abandonment of waste and violation of the landscape constraint.
"Everyone knows, so far no one has intervened concretely and decisively for environmental reclamation", explain the ecologists.
«Perhaps – they warn opening a crack – the removal of plastic from the Poetto beach and sea is approaching. In fact, the nylon bags, now degraded and abandoned, are 'waste' and consequently they must be removed with the prescribed precautions and methods, moreover they now constitute an evident danger for those who go to the beach".
It is «the umpteenth outrage of a splendid kilometre-long beach that has been all too massacred by bad management over the last few decades. The withdrawals of sand, the disastrous nourishments, rudeness and rudeness. A real environmental jewel abused, it's time to move on".
