Citizens who help in monitoring the waters and report abuses also via the WhatsApp number 366 266 2829 every abuse.
Some citizens have already sent photos and videos that tell of the return of sea pollution in various areas of the city of Naples and the entire coast of the Campania region. The latest reports come from Posillipo, in the Lido Sirena area, where the sea is completely invaded by a suspicious white foam that appears at certain times of the day, from Molo Beverello, here too there is white foam and an oily film, from Torre del Greco where the waters are invaded by waste and white foam, while on the coast of Pontecagnano Faiano there have been suspicious signals of discharges into the sea
“It's all over already, do we have to say goodbye to the clean sea? We will fight to the bitter end to prevent this from happening, we have already made many reports on sea pollution and illegal dumping and we will continue to do so, thanks also to the collaboration of citizens. We must all fight together to save our land and our sea, we need synergy between institutions, law enforcement and citizens, serial polluters must be stopped and reported so that they can be given severe sentences, even prison and the closure of their businesses if necessary. We have reported the situation in these two areas to the authorities and we have sent a request to Arpac to monitor the conditions of the water. The sea is ours, let's save it.” - declared Councilor Borrelli and radio host Gianni Simioli.
