Recently, a joint appeal from environmentalists and fishermen has been launched for the environmental protection of the eco-friendly beaches in the area. Organizations such as WWF, Legambiente, and the Union of Sport Fishermen of Garda have written to local mayors and other relevant authorities to emphasize the importance of these beaches in maintaining the ecological balance of the lake. The letter highlights how tourist activities, such as cementing and beach preparation, are compromising vital habitats for many endangered fish species.
The appeal calls for a suspension of beach leveling operations intended for tourism, particularly during the fish breeding periods. Environmentalists warn that sustainable management of the beaches is crucial for ensuring the survival of the lake’s ecosystem. Without a change in approach to protecting beach quality, the future of the lake could be seriously jeopardized, making collaboration between local administrations and associations necessary to develop effective conservation strategies.
