Orbetello, Slow Food Italy: not (only) an ecological disaster, but a political and administrative disaster

The death of fish in the Orbetello lagoon shows the devastating effects of climate change, but it is the result of years of neglect and abandonment of a fragile and precious area. The fishermen of the Presidium: "There is less fish, but the quality is absolute".

06, Aug 2024

On the surface of the water float the carcasses of thousands of fish, dead from the lack of oxygen and the effects of climate change: from the Orbetello lagoon, on a midsummer Sunday, come images that, in their dramatic desolation, well tell the inability to take care, to protect, to safeguard. What is happening these days in the Orbetello lagoon is not only an ecological disaster of particularly significant dimensions: it is a political and administrative disaster, the failure to manage a fragile and precious ecosystem, where heavenly beaches, nature reserves and special protection areas for the species that nest here alternate.
