Naples, a poacher was caught in the Gaiola marine protected area, with the video reported to deputy Borrelli. Europa Verde expresses the need to defend the sea from predators and criminals, underlining the maximum alert during the Christmas period.

“It is essential to firmly defend marine protected areas from poachers and eco-criminals who continue to violate them, robbing them of their natural wealth. The video published on Facebook by the CSI Gaiola association, which shows a diver caught in the middle of the night while raiding octopuses in the Gaiola marine area, renews attention on the protection of protected areas, especially during the Christmas period, when quantities of illegally caught fish products can end up on the tables.
Fortunately, the recovered polyps were still alive and were returned to their natural habitat. However, it is crucial not to lower our guard against this criminal phenomenon that inflicts inestimable damage to the sea and the coasts. Strict controls must be implemented both on the coasts and in the city's fish markets to prevent the sale of illegal products", declared the deputy Francesco Emilio Borrelli and the municipal councilors of Europa Verde Lorenzo Pascucci and Gianni Caselli.
