The total project value is roughly 3 million Euros, while Split-Dalmatia County is awarded with some 2 hundred thousands Euros of grant value.
- The Adriatic Sea is full of waterways where tankers sail northward, meaning the potential risk of accidents and pollution of the sea is present. Firefighters are operational forces that are ready to intervene 24 hours. They are ready and trained for interventions in case of environmental protection issues, and in addition to people they need appropriate equipment - said prefect Zevrnja.
Mayor of City of Kastela, Ivan Udovicic, thanked the county for giving confidence to Firefighting brigade Kastel Gomilica while chief fire commander Milivoj Taslak said:
- A total of three hundred meters of protective floating oil booms used to prevent spread of dangerous substances such as hydrocarbons in the sea were delivered. The boom is the oceanic type, meaning it can be used on the high seas. Its' hight is one meter and 10 cm, made of materials resistant to the damaging effects of UV radiation, salt water and chemicals. In addition to the boom, the reel which is used for its storage and equipment for towing booms was delivered to Firefighting brigade Kastel Gomilica as well as t
