THE NEW MARINA FIUMICINO
when an "environment friendly" in name only
In recent years we have seen the launch of dozens of port infrastructure projects in our region. These proposals would Ammionistrazioni according to the response regulators alleged "upgrade plan for coordination of ports in the Lazio region of 1998 which established many ports and harbors could be made on our coast, the number of berths provided and the type of ' port and this program seems to have been later confirmed in the "mobility plan of the Lazio Region" whose guidelines have been delivered in 2006.
In the context of this "escalation of the worlds" was inserted yesterday morning, the presentation of the design for the new tourist port of Fiumicino whose implementation, according to what has been learned from the press, create significant environmental problems related to its location and its size : 77 works at sea, land and 27 to 5 for the shipbuilding area, roads, infrastructure and shopping malls. These numbers indicate that the work can not possibly be described as environmentally friendly.
This work is duplicated. What are two marinas places a few hundred meters of each other? Recall that the tourist port of Ostia already provided for the expansion and further observed that it is planning to build a third commercial port - cruise. Three ports in the short space of a few kilometers.
The size of the port operations envisaged, in addition to the expected environmental damage will have a strong impact on facilities and infrastructure in the hinterland.
E 'is well known that in recent years, the coast has continued to suffer from a phenomenon that started since more than 30 years that has accelerated over the last decade: coastal erosion. The data emerging from national and international studies about the phenomenon is quite clear the prominent role played by facilities and infrastructure leaned hard into the sea ports in this case, rocks and docks, in fact these structures deviate towards the open sea, or stop by determining the accumulation breakwater, river sediments that make up the material with the deposition of natural beach nourishment on the sandy shores of streams and creating games sovraflutto that instead leads to a very strong erosion.
In fact, the erosion problem has been carefully studied, so that the region has produced a series of legal documents, laws were approved for regional coastal defense and our region is entered as a partner in international projects for the monitoring and protection from coastal erosion.
Paradoxically, however, nothing is been done to change the projects already approved by dozens of governments, all these projects, and Fiumicino, is no exception, involve the construction of jetties and outer harbor rigid prosthesis for tens and sometimes hundreds of meters into the sea.
There are environmental impact studies of these structures and changes that are not only on the shoreline but also on all ecosystems who insist on this particular geological structure which is the dune.
"Once again we witness the presentation of plans and programs lack the Environmental Assessment, mandatory tool in order to really understand the range of the effects of choices of 'Ammministrazione territory to protect the environment e della salute dei cittadini - dichiara Vanessa Ranieri Presidente del WF Lazio - E' inaccettabile e ricorreremo in tutte le sedi nazionali ed europee per porre fine a questo comportamento che ogni anno determina un danno ambientale incalcolabile e soprattutto erariale per condanne da parte della Comunità Europea per l'inosservanza dei principi comunitari, a cui tutti noi cittadini dobbiamo fare fronte economicamente".
