Poles on Campeche beach The court ordered Florianópolis city hall to immediately remove 13 lighting poles installed at the end of June in the dunes of Campeche beach. The structures were placed in one of the city's main tourist sites without an impact study or authorization from the Federal Heritage Secretariat (SPU), according to the Federal Public Ministry. The decision, which can be appealed, is from the 6th Federal Court of the Capital (Environmental) and was handed down late on Sunday night (5). The city of Florianópolis informed that it has not yet been notified of the decision and that "it will adopt the appropriate measures as soon as it is notified". ?Click and follow the g1 SC channel on WhatsApp The case came under investigation after residents protested the installation of structures on the beach sand.

The beach where the poles were installed is one of the most famous destinations in the state capital in the summer. Known for its strip of white sand, rough sea ideal for surfing and crystal clear waters, the place is the main starting point for Campeche Island, another postcard and conservation area of ??the city. The area where the poles were installed is in the region called Lomba do Sabão, one of the most frequented by young people and athletes. Poles on a 'beloved' beach in SC generate protests Installation of poles is halted on a beach in the south of the island of SC In addition to removing the lighting equipment, the municipality must suspend any work on installing poles and passing wiring in the lane at the location, according to the Federal Court. The injunction also establishes that removal must be carried out using techniques with low environmental impact. Now, the Municipal Environmental Foundation (Floram) must, within five days, draw up an environmental infraction notice and issue an embargo on the work. The fine for non-compliance is R$10,000 per day. Posts installed at Praia do Campeche, in Florianópolis Reproduction/NSC TV MPF stated that the intervention is irregular On Wednesday (1st), the MPF filed the action that determined the removal of the posts and stated that the intervention was being carried out irregularly and in a Permanent Preservation Area (APP) of dunes and restingas and without an Environmental Impact Study. The work also did not request authorization from the Federal Heritage Secretariat. Furthermore, the work could cause light pollution and severely affect the behavior of local fauna. This is because excess light can harm the turtles' cycle and cause disorientation of migratory birds and pollinating insects. According to judge Charles Jacob Giacomini, the elements brought by the MPF indicate that the recent interventions carried out by the municipality caused environmental damage to the area of ??permanent preservation of mobile dunes and dune-fixing sandbank. "Although there may be public interest in initiatives related to public lighting, notably with regard to public safety – which is commendable and signals the public manager's genuine concern for the safety and well-being of the population – such works cannot be carried out based on isolated administrative impulses, and must be preceded by the necessary environmental authorizations, especially given the serious damage that such intervention can cause", considered the judge.
