La Franqui stängs?
Känns som ett aprilskämt, men med tanke på vilka som protesterar så är det nog på riktigt… 3750 Euro i böter att segla längst stranden, gäller redan från nu i sommar..
http://www.plnwindsurf.fr/rappel-a-la-loi-par-la-prefecture-maritime/English version :
After our meeting with the head officer of the marine police, it has been confirmed to us that orders coming from marine prefecture were asking that the coastal strip (first 300meters on the sea from the shore) has to be highly protected, wether or not it is materialized by buoys, and that windsurfers and kite-surfers were not to be allowed of doing runs along the beach. The space between 300meters and 2 nautic miles (3.7km) is considered enough for sailing.Controls will be setted up along all the shore during summer.
We can not ignore this reminder to the law, which infringement may result in a fee up to 3.750€!
It has also been reminded to us, that every windsurfer sailing beyond the 300m protected strip, must wear a flotation gear and a device able to emit light. The absence of these equipments can result in a fee up to 1.500€.
Knowing this, we let the responsibility to each one to decide wether or not he is able to windsurf in those conditions.
Form our side, we will arrange as soon as possible a meeting with the mayor of Port-La-Nouvelle, to ask for the set up of a 2km long windsurf zone on the north beach of PLN. The mayor can rule the 300m coastal strip, in agreement with the marine prefect. We have also contacted Mrs Fabre, deputy, and Mr Courteau, senator.
If the situation does not evolve quickly during this summer, we would envisage more radical actions to be heard.
A collective of associations is about to be built including : Windsurf La Nautique, Leucate Barcarès Funboard and PLN Windsurfing, allowing us to speak with a single voice and to gather under a common banner to defend the spots of Languedoc-Roussillon.
There is no need to tell that those limitations equal the death of our beloved sport on the shores of Languedoc-Roussillon if we cannot moove things.
We hope you will be numerous to join your voices to ours to defend our sport and those magical spots.
