Reef Ball news from Italy!

"Pomezia, starts the ambitious “reef balls” project to defend the coast of Torvaianica from the storm surges: time and costs."
"The Municipality of Pomezia has included the intervention in the new three-year program of public works, at the end of 2025, with a commitment of 200 thousand euros per year for the three-year period just begun. It is a passage that counts because it shifts the coastal defense from the chapter of intentions to that of choices: money, calendar, priorities."
