Given the broken promises made by the institutions to make the Marceddì pond safe, we are now protesting. The fishermen who manage the complex, around one hundred in total, will protest indefinitely on Wednesday starting from seven in the morning. Where? At fishpond 17, the area where the biggest problems are recorded which risk bringing the entire sector to its knees.
The mouth of the canal, which connects the ponds of Corru s'Ittiri and Corru Mannu to the sea, has been completely blocked by debris and sand transported by the sea for too long now. This prevents water exchange. «There is no oxygen, we haven't seen a fish in a long time - the president of the Marceddì Consortium Antonio Loi reiterated several times - Yet the funding for the reclamation is there, why is it not spent? The disaster for our coffers is near."
This is why the fishermen have now decided to make themselves heard in a clear and concrete way. Loi has asked the Region to intervene several times for an urgent clean-up, but the problem has not yet been resolved. On Wednesday there will not only be fishermen from Terralba. Loi also invited all the presidents of the province's fishing consortia, many local mayors but also some regional councilors and councilors. «We are not asking for money but for a cleanup to avoid losing what little remains - continues Loi - During the event the operators of the various marinas will explain all the problems present in the ponds. The Region must understand that the fishing sector is part of Sardinia's economy, it must understand that important funding and immediate action are needed. If there is still silence for us, we will move to Cagliari, in the Region."
