- Marevivo and the Federation of the Sea, the approval of the Law
Salvamare is a historic victory
-
- It will allow fishermen to bring plastic ashore
recovered with nets instead of dumping it into the sea
-
 Today, Wednesday 11 May, is a historic day
for the sea and for the future of man on the planet. They have it
highlighted Marevivo and Federazione del Mare, together with Assonave,
Assoporti, Confindustria Nautica, Confitarma, Federpesca, Lega
Naval, Italian Sailing League, Zoological Station Anton Dohrn and La
Great Wave, commenting on today's final approval by
of the Senate of the so-called Salvamare Law and highlighting that
'finally, after publication in the "Journal
Official", our country will have a tool
effective and concrete, also required by the European Union, which
will allow fishermen to bring plastic ashore
recovered with nets instead of discharging it into the sea, an action that
before it constituted the crime of illicit transport of waste. The
law also provides for the installation of collection systems at the
mouths of rivers to intercept plastic before it reaches the sea
and also deals with desalinators, education, cleaning campaigns,
Posidonia oceanica and much more».-
- "It is - underlined Rosalba Giugni, president of
Marevivo - a great victory: for our sea, for our
Country, for our citizens. Thanks to this law, we will have more
strength to clean the sea of plastic, a real plague for
the marine ecosystem and beyond. Microplastics, in fact, are
have been found in women's placenta, blood and milk
maternal. There is no more time: we must all act
together. Our future depends on the health of the sea and health
of the sea depends on us".
-
- 'The Federation of the Sea and its federated organisations
- said the president of the Federation of the Sea, Mario
Mattioli - are proud to have supported the initiative of
Marevivo and happy to have contributed to the achievement of this
important result that the whole world of the economy of the sea
shares and that will certainly have an environmental impact
immediate and concrete on the health of our seas, lakes and rivers,
contributing to a further development of the circular economy".
