«I am positively convinced that urchin fishing can be done all year round ».
This was said by the Councilor for Agriculture, Valeria Satta , at the end of the meeting with the Fisheries Committee.
«I intend to reiterate and affirm - he added - my full conviction on the need to review the regional law on the blocking of sea urchin fishing in Sardinia . Even during the meeting with the Fisheries Committee, I expressed my desire to meet the needs of our fishermen who inevitably find themselves penalized for the current fishing closures".
«Thanks to an amendment by the Regional Council – continued Satta – this year we had the possibility, for a season, to reopen, but now we will inevitably return to the old legislation. In the uncertainty of the real existence of a need to safeguard the marine eco-system, in the face of the numerous difficulties that our fishermen have to deal with on a daily basis, I express my opinion in their favor, seeking, this time, a definitive solution. I will therefore propose, shortly, an amendment that allows the reopening of urchin fishing, possibly indefinitely ."
