“We cannot take a walk in the open air. We cannot open the windows. We are segregated in the house” like during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, the petition read. It blamed ineffective management of the lagoon for the calamity.Pier Luigi Piro, president of the Orbetello fishermen cooperative, said that the lagoon ecosystem needs serious infrastructural investments to clean out canals and favor the exchange of water between the lagoon and the Tyrrhenian.
