Cagliari – Over seven thousand kilometers of coastline with historic, environmental beauties, geomorphological that significantly determine the identity of the beautiful country. Coast in the middle of one of the most sensitive seas of the planet for environmental reasons but also cultural and trade, essential test to climate change, on which weigh the consequences of short-sighted political and historical inefficiencies. This photo Italy from the coast analyzed 360 degrees that emerges in the Report Environment Italy drafted by Legambiente.
Today 51% of the Italian coasts has been transformed from houses and buildings and the digit, without a change of policy, is likely to grow in the last decades at the rate of eight kilometers per year, more than half of coastal landscapes have been transformed by palaces, hotels and villas . A third of the beaches is affected by erosion currently expanding; 14,542 are the offenses detected during 2014 including crimes related to the sea and the coast in Italy, 40 per day, 2 per kilometer, which is still higher than in 2013. The marine habitat is constantly put to the test by pollution, with 25% of city wastes even non-purified (40% in some places) and well 1,022 agglomerations of European infringement proceedings. 45% of withdrawals made by Green Schooner in 2015 is polluted result, while plastic continues to colonize beaches and seabed. Only 19% of the coastline (1,235 km) is under the protection constraints.
On the other hand, he explains Michele Manigrasso talking about land use , in Italy, 51% of the coastline has been transformed by urbanization . Legambiente has made a detailed analysis of the 6477 kilometers of coast from Ventimiglia to Trieste and the two largest islands, so without considering the many smaller islands: 3,291 km have been irreversibly processed, specifically 719.4 kilometers are occupied by industries, ports and infrastructure, 918.3 were colonized from urban centers.
another worrying figure regards the spread of low-density settlements, with villas and cottages, which covers 1653.3 kilometers, equal to 25% the entire coastline. Among the regions, Sicily has the absolute primacy of kilometers of coastline characterized by urbanization less dense but spread (350 km), followed by Calabria and Puglia.
Sardinia is instead the most virtuous region for quantities of natural and agricultural landscapes still intact and still is the least urbanized region of Italy. it ‘really worrying, says the report, to emphasize that since 1988, despite being in force the Galasso law that would had to protect the areas within 300 meters from the coast, they have been transformed from houses and other buildings 220 kilometers of coastline, with an average of 8 km per year, or 25 meters per day. Among the most devastated regions of Sicily with 65 km, Lazio with 41 and Campania with 29. In coastal areas, according to the Istat, in the decade from 2001 to 2011 it has risen 18 thousand new buildings. 700 per square kilometer buildings both in Sicily and in Puglia, 600 in Calabria but also 232 per square kilometer in Veneto, Friuli Venezia Giulia 308 and 300 in Tuscany, Basilicata and Sardinia.
