These are necessary and essential for their management, conservation and marine regeneration.

They all agreed that the most important thing is to start, to put in place solutions, little by little, but not to let another year go by and let the situation continue to worsen. In addition to this, the great problem of the sewage system due to the leakage of waste water has been commented on. The bay is particularly sensitive and has suffered these types of incidents for years.
