Everything seemed under control but now also threatens the tar La Maddalena. Assurances and optimism of the first hour did not seem to be enough to stop the oil spill in the north of Sardinia, after the incident to the establishment of E. On Porto Torres, on 11 January. At least 15 thousand gallons of fuel oil ended up in the sea, close to some of the most beautiful beaches of the island, Platamona Stintino and marine protected area in front of the National Park Asinara. Several black spots that float to the east, reached during the last forty-eight hours even the coasts of Gallura, Santa Reparata the peninsula of Capo Testa and now threaten even the Spread of paradise and protected throughout the archipelago of La Maddalena . It is difficult to estimate the actual damages an environmental emergency at the beginning of last week was considered closed by the local maritime authorities and instead has instead pushed the head of the Maritime La Maddalena has declared Friday a state of emergency, in an informative and institutional confusion not bode well for the real effects of the Holy River ecosystem of one of the most beautiful stretches of coast Paese.L 'impression ISPRA technicians arrived to monitor the situation is that "the bulk of small patches of tar are already beached" but the surveys at sea and on the seabed in front of the beaches will continue in the coming days, and already six tons of polluting materials recovered during the week of volunteers and companies responsible for cleaning costs.
