“zero kilometer” and seasonal fish returns to Sardinian tables, with the end of the organic closure. The "trawling" activities can restart (in Sardinia they concern 600 operators and around 160 boats) but there is an alarm in the sector.

«We import 80% of what we eat, the rules are imposed from above, without any consultation, the rules are made by the European Union taking into account as a priority the needs of some Northern European navies and then applied to contexts like ours, that they would need a different type of vision, compensation is always very late, there is a lack of planning, the cost of fuel is skyrocketing, it has reached over 90 cents per litre, and more and more companies are forced to give up", he warns Mauro Manca, manager of Coldiretti Pesca.

Renato Murgia (regional president of Federpesca and Fedagripesca Confcooperative) explains that «while we observed the closure, the entire Mazara del Vallo fleet arrived en masse to fish in our waters. Due to a ministerial decree this year which decides to stop activities for a month throughout Italy, with the exception of Sicily, which does so autonomously. Therefore, probably, tomorrow beyond 12 miles we will not find a crayfish." Again: «With regards to compensation, they still have to pay us for 2021, while the cost of diesel, for the larger boats that consume a lot, has gone from around 17 thousand euros per month last year to 42 thousand euros».
