Accessible, clean and equipped beaches. But also safety, environmental monitoring, and events. The municipalities of Lazio will be able to face the beach season with the support of the Lazio Region, which has confirmed the allocation of 3 million euro for 2026 as well. This is a structural measure of the Rocca administration, on which the Region has invested a total of 12 million euro since 2023. The resolution has already been approved by the Council, making the resources immediately available to local administrations. The 2026 Plan for the valorisation and economic promotion of the sandy shores of the Lazio coastline was presented by the vice-president and councillor for Economic Development of the Lazio Region, Roberta Angelilli. The press conference was attended by Vittorio Sambucci, President of the Commission for Economic Development and Productive Activities of the Lazio Regional Council, and Cosimo Nicastro, Commander of the Port Authority of Civitavecchia and Maritime Director of Lazio.
The use of resources
Regional resources can be used by local administrations to improve the usability of public beaches, with actions that first and foremost guarantee cleanliness and environmental quality: from the removal of plastic and rubbish to the creation of ecological islands, and the depollution of sea water or rivers through biotechnologies. Support will also be provided for the supervision of bathing, including first aid points, beach guard services, and fire prevention actions. Measures are financed to guarantee the full agibility of the beach and facilitated access for the disabled. Contributions are also envisaged for the protection of marine ecosystems, accompanied by educational initiatives aimed at schools, as well as sustainable mobility services such as ecological shuttles.
