Sinnai, sand taken from the beach of Genn'e Mari: an investigation is open, seals at the construction site

A collection of sand - perhaps abusive and unauthorized - from the beach of Genn'e Mari in Torre delle Stelle , in the Sinnai area, for road works, prompted the municipal police and the Sardinian Environmental Supervisory Body to open an investigation by order of the Public Prosecutor's Office.

The report comes from various environmental associations: from the one represented by Marcello Polastri (which concerned the Noe) to the Legal Intervention Group ( GrIG) . «The Municipality of Sinnai has decided to intervene with "environmental redevelopment works" (over 174 thousand euros in total) which, however, really seem to cause further environmental degradation», writes Stefano Deliperi of the GrIG. « In fact, some paving works appear to have used sand taken by mechanical means from the beach of Genn'e Mari . If this were the case, it would be a zero kilometer, highly ecological supply. Even at zero cost. Too bad it would be abusive as well as a source of further environmental degradation.

The Legal Intervention Group, having received numerous reports in this regard, proceeded (on 11 March 2023) to send   specific request for civic access, environmental information and adoption of appropriate measures to the Ministry of Culture, the Region, the Municipality of Sinnai, the Coast Guard, the Forestry and Environmental Surveillance Corps, informing the Prosecutor of the Republic of Cagliari for the aspects of competence   i .

Pending further investigations, the area of the construction site where the sand was found was confiscated .
