Save tjhe Croatian Coast

Mladen Domazet/ Sian Glaessner | 12.06.2003 15:05

Oil transports from Russia to USA threaten outstanding nature of Croatia.

The following is a petition to ban Oil Tankers from using the Croatian Coast as a mode of transporting oil from Russia to the USA.If a spill occurs, it will devastate the Croatian Coast and it will probably never recover. These tankers exude massive amounts of pollution, which in turn would be equally devastating to this fragile and rare eco system...This would destroy the strongest industry the country has - TOURISM...Croatia is being offered $50 Million dollars for use of passage, but tourism brings the country in excess of $4 billion dollars annually...>Now you do the math. Once you've been to the Adriatic/Croatian Coast
and visited it's islands and beaches, you'll see that there is nothing else like it...If you are interested in this cause, please add your name to the list at the bottom and pass this message on to your friends - IF YOUR SIGNATURE IS on number 500, please make sure you copy all e-mails to:
 kabin@mzopy.hr and  premijer@vlada.hr If you've never been to the Croatian Coast, have a look at this website... http://www.dalmacija.net/adriatic_sea.htm

We need to collet 500 names in order for this petition to pass...

just think for a minute: under the Tito regime, Croatia was free of both the USA and Russia, and the coastline was fairly well protected. Now it seems to be caught between the two.
