bathing ordinance issued for the safety of bathers
In view of the arrival of the summer season, the Municipality of Misano Adriatico approved the bathing ordinance that governs the exercise of beach activities and the use of the maritime state property. The main features that have the characteristics of last summer season are confirmed: greater safety for swimmers and increasing attention to the environment. “Also this year we have confirmed the most stringent criteria for the surveillance area by the rescue service, where visibility is reduced by the presence of breakwater barriers – explains the councilor for state property Manuela Tonini -. In fact, we want to maintain a high level of safety on our beaches, continuing to guarantee the serenity of citizens and tourists. We also maintain a high level of attention to respect for the environment, to preserve that environmental quality which, in recent years, has contributed to the blue flag for the quality of the waters of Misano Adriatico “. SAFETY Throughout the summer bathing season, which will end on the last Sunday of October, it is forbidden to enter the beach from 1:00 to 5:00. The bathing assistance service will be active from the last weekend of May to the second weekend of September, every day from 9:30 to 18:30, with a break from 13:00 to 14:00. During the times when the service is suspended, the Red Flag must be hoisted. To ensure adequate safety for bathers, in the stretch of beach and via Giglio, characterized by the presence of breakwater groynes that limit the visibility of the bathing area, the turrets are positioned every two breakwater moflules. The minimum surface area of each umbrella is confirmed at 12 square meters but, for beach areas that present particular erosive phenomena or a particular conformation, a specific authorization may be issued, upon request, as long as a minimum footprint area of each umbrella of 10 square meters. This year, as a consequence of the nourishment of the coast in progress, many concessionaires will be able to request the extension of their concession, guaranteeing compliance with the minimum 12 square meters of footprint of each umbrella. From the last weekend of May to the second weekend of September, in order to ensure maximum visibility and safety of the beach, concessionaires are obliged to install and keep lit in the areas where the fixed structures of the bathing establishment are located or of bars and restaurants, adequate lighting systems, at the same times provided for public lighting. DELIVERY The custom delivery service is allowed for the umbrella-sunbed. The companies present on the beach independently collect and dispose of the waste produced by this activity, those not present on the beach while they can carry out the service exclusively with the multi-purpose areas of the bathing establishments. ATTENTION TO THE ENVIRONMENT For the delivery service, compostable materials or paper must be used. Access to the beach with drinks in glass packs is also prohibited. For the administration only under the umbrella, the use of glass by the managers of the establishments present on the beach is allowed, but they are obliged to recover and dispose of the packages under their own responsibility. Finally, the public on the beach are invited to set up special separate collection islands available to customers.
