Off-shore wind farm in front of the Sulcis coast, the mayors: «This is how tuna fisheries die»

«If an off-shore wind farm were to be built in front of the Sulcis coast , the historic fixed tuna traps would be condemned to death because the bluefin tuna would change its thousand-year-old route ».

The cry of alarm from the mayors and managers of the tuna fisheries of Carloforte and Portoscuso is unanimous in the face of the Ichnusa Wind Power project which would like to install 42 wind turbines in the Gulf of Sulcis for a maximum power of 504 megawatts, blades 160 meters high with a propeller of 125 meters radius.

An artificial island that could change the marine ecosystem forever.
