Project: Faial Island Coastline Management Plan

The plan includes an investment of approximately three million euros, but at the public discussion held on Tuesday, those responsible for the Plan made ​​clear that there is a lack of funds to implement it. The Regional Government started to carry out, in 2005, Plans of Coastline Management (POOC) but this work will end this year with the Plan of the Faial island, as the other islands already  have their own. The Faial´s POOC expects nearly three million euros of investments for different purposes, from protecting the most dangerous areas to providing infrastructures to other zones, out of which 43 percent would be the responsibility of the City Council of Horta. However, in the public session held on Tuesday night, within the scope of the running project’s Public Discussion period, those responsible for the Plan have made clear the lack of funds to complete the expected on the Plan. According to Sérgio Barroso, coordinator of the consortium that developed the Plan, at the Steering Committee it was made clear that the current unstable financial conditions do not allow an immediate implementation.
