Same beach, same sea? In Italy it is less true: they changed a lot. Some maybe even better, definitely a lot worse. One of the more detailed studies facts on the Italian coast dates back 14 years ago and certified that only 28% of 8 thousand kilometers of coastline remained free of buildings and beaches. Since then the situation has deteriorated a lot. As late as 1996, for example, in Sicily for 63% of the shoreline was already occupied by concrete. If you add the nuclei built is still not reached 74%. In fact, only 18% remained free of cement. The built coastal holiday is intended for use by an average of 149 dwellings per kilometer. According to the Atlas of the beaches of the Italian National Research Council only 700 km - that is less than 10% of the national coastal development - were present system of sand dunes. And only 50% - ie 350 km - were in their natural state: an average of only 23 km for the 15 coastal regions.
As the beaches and coastline in general, remain one of the most valuable asset of the country, Corriere della Sera, Italian WWF urges swimmers to tell if and how it changed the way they jump into the sea.
ALERTS READERS - Readers are invited to describe the Corriere on the beach or just the most popular choice for holidays, or for the weekend was, how she became, at the state. Still exist? Decreased? There appeared new bathing facilities, kiosks, mooring? It was the free beach and no longer is? E 'clean, dirty? New buildings have appeared in the sea fish farms on the coast there are industrial plants, warehouses? When the beach and the sea are no longer the same, and their conditions have worsened, write a short text that describes these changes, and attach photos possible to highlight the differences in the past.
RECOVERY PROJECT - The cases will all be published on Corriere.it. Choosing from one of these in late summer, engineers will develop research and projects of WWF for free a recovery plan which will be published and sent to the competent local authorities. Even if it is, precisely, a drop in the bucket, or better than a beach about 8000 km of coastline, replace even one, could be a useful signal to look differently at a future where you can review the same beaches, and the same sea.
