Trivelle oil to the wide one of the Tremiti, Legambiente: Madness

It cannot be thought to install oil platforms to little kilometers from the marine oasis of the Tremiti islands. Stefano Little sheep, city council member to the atmosphere of the Province of Foggia and commissioner of the Park of the Gargano, guides the revolt against the new threat of drillings in the Adriatic Mar between Puglia, Molise and Abruzzi. It has convened in order tomorrow a reunion of the eighteen mayors of the Municipalities of the Park, in which it will be decided like reacting to the decision of the ministers Prestigiacomo (Ambient) and Galan (cultural Assets). Which, with a decree signed to fine March, have authorized the Petroceltic Italy, emanation of an Irish society, to more carry out surveyings to a depth of 140 meters on an area of 730 square kilometers (of the half than that of the Municipality of Rome) situated to the wide one of the abruzzese and molisana coast, to approximately 40 kilometers from Tip Pen and to 26 from the Tremiti islands.

The protest is involved the institutions (besides the Park and to the Municipalities, the Puglia Region whose Nichi governor I sell has defined it the absurd authorization because to little distance from a magnificent patrimony it acclimatizes them), the associations ecologists from Legambiente to the Wwf, the local committees. Probable a resource to the Tar, even if the competence on that marine zone is of the Regions Abruzzi and Molise, than they have up to now not objected. Possible a political and cultural mobilitation, with the involvement of the personages - from Lucio From to Albano Carrisi - that they love the Tremiti.

The hydrocarbon searches had obtained the appraisal acclimatize them favorable a year make. Then, after the scandal of the British Petroleum in the Gulf of Mexico, the minister of the Atmosphere Stefania Prestigiacomo had adopted a moratorium on the new systems in Italy (same mechanism for centers them to them nuclear after the tsunami in Japan). But the moratorium was limited to 12 miles from the protect areas, therefore the Tremiti does not save. Where the technique will be used air gun: impulses to ultrasounds shot on the bottom of the sea, that they supply the geologic stratification and they characterize eventual giacimenti.

The possibility to find some is good, even if the experts support that the oil in viscere of the Adriatic is not good quality. Little he imports: to render the convenient drillings in Italy, much to attract multinationals from all Europe, they are the paltry ones royalties that the State demands: the 4 for hundreds on the proceeds (in other Countries are arrived to the 30-50 for hundreds). For which the demands fioccano in all the Adriatic. A madness, beats again Legambiente, second which the reservoirs of oil estimated in Italy are gone around on 130 million you cheat them, that is how much of it we consume in a year and means. Of it is worth the pain?

Calabrian Peppino, former mayor of the Tremiti (sfiduciato two months ago after to be defined the last friend of Gheddafi) it fears negative repercussions on the tourism: That one of the two ministers is a surprise attack, schiaffo to all we. More prudent Little sheep, president of the Park: The provision has had a iter to regulate, the issue is not technical, but political. In the letter-convocazione to the mayors, it expresses forts perplexity for the protection acclimatizes them of our splendid protected areas and protest for the lacked involvement the pugliesi institutions. It is necessary to estimate in unison the countermeasures to adopt. We will courageous fight with all our forces.

Already, the countermeasures. The zone of the oil searches is in fact outside from the perimeter of the protect marine area. A hypothesis that will be taken in consideration tomorrow is the widening of the protect area, so as to remove the threat.
