PETICIJSKO PISMO Grupe stanovnika i gostiju otoka Sveti Klement Palmižana

Buka i nepoštivanje javnog reda i mira na Palmižani

Palmižana, 06.07.2014

Zbog situacije koja je potpuno van kontrole, a koja se događa na otoku Sveti Klement, predio Palmižana-Vinogradišće, prisiljeni smo prosvjedovati i tražiti zaštitu, budući pripadamo Gradu Hvaru.

Cijela situacija je izazvana prisutstvom brodova «Yacht Week» i sličnih nekontroliranih organizacija u ACI marini Palmižana čiji mladi i uglavnom alkoholizirani gosti rade neviđeni nered i time narušavaju turističku ponudu koja je već desetljećima bazirana na poštivanju i očuvanje prirode, I miru koje pruža svojim gostima. To je uostalom prepoznato i van granica Hrvatske pa su brojni svjetski mediji izvještavali o našoj mirnoj i očuvanoj turističkoj oazi.

Prema Zakonu o zaštiti prirode Republike Hrvatske Pakleni otoci su zaštićeni spomenik prirode u kategoriji značajnog krajolika, tj. zaštićenog krajolika, kojim upravlja Županijska javna ustanova za gospodarenje zaštićenim dijelovima prirode. Otoci su, prema državnoj odluci pod zaštitom od 1972. godine. A kako stoji u u toj odredbi- U značajnom krajobrazu nisu dopušteni zahvati i radnje koje narušavaju obilježja zbog kojih je proglašen. Slijedom navedenog, pozivamo na hitnu akciju da se zaštiti ono što je zakonom određeno kao zaštićeno.

Već smo svjedočili prošle godine - kad su se pojavili prvi brodovi «Yacht Weeka» ili sličnih nekontroliranih događanja u ACI marini Palmižana – da se potpuno poremeti red i mir na otoku. Svjedočili smo prve znakove devastacije otoka već prošle godine, kada preveliki broj mladih i razuzdanih ljudi preplavi cijeli otok u već alkoholiziranom stanju, šetajući otokom sa bocama alkohola koje nerijetko razbijaju i cigaretama u ruci koje gase u prirodi pa postoji I opasnost od požara. Uostalo smeće koje ostavljaju iza sebe čistimo mi, stanovnici otoka. Njihovo kretanje od marine do uvale Vinogradišće ugrožava mir i red privatnih vlasnika kuća na Palmižani, zatim gostiju restorana u uvali Vinogradišće, kao i gostiju u smještajima Meneghello (koji uredno plaćaju boravišnu pristojbu gradu Hvaru) te svi moraju trpjeti preglasnu muziku i buku u ovoj oazi mira koja traje cijelu noć.

Obitelji Meneghello u protekla dva stoljeća teškim je odricanjem i velikom ljubavlju od krša i kamena na otoku stvorila jedan od najljepših europskih egzotičnih krajolika, raskošni arboretum. Obitelj već više od sto godina gradi reputaciju otoka Sveti Klemet Palmižana kao jedan od najvećih i najljepših hrvatskih, svjetski poznatih, brendova kulturnog turizma. Palmižana (Sveti Klement) je, u novinama “The Times“ i “Guardian“ ove godine, kao i 2008., proglašena najljepšim otokom na Jadranu, s atributima oaze mira, ljepote, umjetnosti, prirode i mora. I sama turistička zajednica grada Hvara šalje novinare iz cijeloga svijeta da tome svjedoče. Gosti dolaze na preporuku svjetskih ozbiljnih medija, a nalaze na „Sodomu i Gomoru“. Tu su, također i drugi ugostiteljski objekti koji dijele istu sudbinu i razmišljanje, što nas je i okupilo u ovoj zajedničkoj intervenciji. U pitanje je dovedena reputacija našeg otoka i njegova posjećenost od strane dugogodišnjih gostiju koji se sada tuže na buku i odlaze.

Prema informacijama sa internet stranice (www.theyachtweek.com/croatia/), «Yacht Week» će se događati na Palmižani cijelo ljeto, svaki tjedan od 7.6.-30.08.; podijeljeni su u 2 grupe, prva grupa ponedjeljak-srijeda, druga grupa srijeda-petak, što znači da će njihovo prisutstvo na otoku biti 5 dana tjedno! Nakon iskustva od prošlog tjedna, strašno smo zabrinuti što će se događati tokom cijelog ljeta, jer se nered pogoršao od prošle godine. Uvala Palmižana se na njihovim internet stranicima reklamira kao «Natural bay», a poziva zainteresirane da rezerviraju mjesto na fantastičnom putovanju uz cjelodnevno i cijelonoćno partijanje.

Obitelji, vlasnici privatnih kuća, kao i ugostitelji Palmižane trpe buku danju i noću; kupači moraju sklanjati djecu s plaže zbog vulgarnog i nedoličnog ponašanja tih mladih ljudi koji rade nered na cijelom otoku. Ta razuzdana masa mladih prolazi po stazama otoka i kroz privatna dvorišta i okućnice stanovnika Palmižane ometajući na taj način posjed i mir vlasnika. Smatramo nedopustivim postupak ACI marine koja je pristala na povećan aranžman «Yacht Week»-a za ovo ljeto, ne uvažavajući pritom kontekst krajolika u kojem se marina nalazi i naše turističke orijentacije koju smo godinama gradili. Tim bezobzirnim, jednostranim aktom, mi smo se svi, uključujući i goste, našli u izuzetno nepovoljnoj situaciji. Taj tip turizma je štetan i dugoročno neodrživ te ćemo njegove posljedice, ukoliko se trend nastavi, godinama osjećati. Mještani i njihovi gosti osjećaju se zlostavljanima od strane razuzdanih posjetitelja kojima je jedini cilj napiti se, a nadaleko nema zaštitara, policije niti bilo kakvih komunalnih redara. Što smatramo maćehinskim odnosom prema jednom od najljepših i turistički najprofiliranijih otoka na jadranskoj obali.

Što se tiče kratkoročnih zahtjeva tiče oni glase:

  1. Inzistiramo na prisutstvu komunalnog redara na otoku.
  2. Zahtjevamo da se i na prigradskom naselju grada Hvara počne primjenjivati donesena Odluka o zabrani ispijanja alkoholnih pića na javnim površinama, kao i odredba Zakona o javnom redu i miru koja izričito zabranjuje prodaju alkoholnih pića alkoholiziranim osobama.
  3. Zahtjevamo da se upozore gosti da ne mogu slobodno šetati tuđjim zemljištem i uznemiravati stanovnike i goste u njihovim kućama.
  4. Zahtjevamo da se uvede upozorenja i kazne za pušenje u prirodi i bacanje opušaka.
  5. Zahtjevamo da se gosti upozore na opasnost od požara
  6. Zahtjevamo raskid ugovora sa ovakvim i sličnim aranžmanima na otoku Sv.Klement, predio Palmižana-Vinogradišće

Dugoročno:

Budući smo da smo i mi dio općine grada Hvara, apeliramo na intervenciju grada Hvara i njegovih zastupnika koje smo i mi birali.

Stanovnici otoka, a i gosti otoka zajedno potpisuju ovu peticiju i zahtijevaju akciju.

Ako se nikakve radnje ne poduzmu u roku od 10 dana  tražit ćemo mišljenje odvjetnika za daljnje postupanje vezano za zaštitu svojih materijalnih prava, te naknadu štete.

There are perfectly adequate laws regulating public order, which should be sufficient to allow partying to coexist with family tourism, but there is a problem with enforcement. When Hvar mayor Rino Budrović took up his post in 2013, he promised to ensure that the laws would be obeyed. Katija Zaninović Dawnay's party, 'Lista za ponos mista' had unexpected success in the 2013 local elections, with the resolve to curb all-night noise and drunken disorder as a main subject in their agenda. Members of the party were prime movers in organizing a petition in August 2011, delivered to then-Mayor Pjerino Bebić with an impressive 550 signatures attached. Their Council members have achieved much in their short time in office, but the party dilemma remains unresolved.

Now a new petition has been launched, this time emanating from concerned residents, hospitality providers and guests on Hvar's Pakleni Islands. Dated July 6th 2014, it has been delivered to Mayor Rino Budrović, backed by another impressive list of signatures.

The petition reads as follows:

PETITION Letter – Group of residents and guests of St. Clement island, Palmižana

Noise and disrespect of public safety rules on Palmižana

Palmižana, 06.07.2014

Dear Sirs,

We are seeking help and protection from Town of Hvar because the situation on the island of St. Clement, Hvar archipelago, district Palmižana – Vinogradišće is completely out of control.

The whole situation escalated with the frequent presence of «Yacht Week» boats and similar uncontrolled organizations in ACI marina Palmižana whose young, mostly intoxicated guests produce unprecedented disorder and therefore threaten smooth tourist activities on Palmižana, well known for decades to be nature and environmentaly friendly. Palmižana name is widely known in the world to give peace and quiet to the guests.

After all, it has been recognized outside of Croatian borders, and numerous international media reported about our quiet and preserved tourist oasis.

According to the Law for Nature Protection of the Republic of Croatia, our islands are a protected natural heritage in the category of significant landscapesi.e., protected landscapewhich is managed by the county public institutions for management of protected natural areas. The State Parliament has declared it back in year 1972.

As it is stated in that regulation – it is not permitted to perform activities and actions that violate the features for which it was declared as protected. Thereforewe call for urgent action to protect what is legally defined as protected.

We have already witnessed last year – as soon as first boats of “Yacht Week” appear or similar uncontrolled events happen in ACI Marina Palmižana – peace and quiet on the island disappears. The first signs of devastation of the island happened last year, when too large number of young and wild people spread out over the entire island in an already intoxicated statewalking around the island with bottles of alcohol which often break and with lighted cigarettes in hand which brings a tremendous risk of fire.

We, residents of the island, clean the mess and garbage. The crowd movement from the marina to the Vinogradišće bay takes away the peace and order from private residents on Palmižana, from guests of restaurants in Vinogradišće bayas well as from guests of worldwide known Meneghello hotel (who duly pay the tourist tax to the town of Hvar), and all of us must suffer from the loud music and whole night noise in this oasis.

Meneghello family has created from rubble and stone on the island, during past two centuries, with hard work and great love, one of Europe’s most exotic landscapes, lavish arboretum. The family has been building a reputation of island St. Clement Palmižana for over a hundred years as one of the Europe's most exotic landscapes, magnificent arboretumThe family has been building for more than one hundred years a reputation of St. Clement Palmizana as one of the largest and most beautiful Croatianworld-known brand of cultural tourism.

Palmižana (St. Clement) has been appointed in the "The Times" and "The Guardian" magazines this year, as well as the in year 2008., the most beautiful island in the Adriatic, with the attributes of an oasis of peace, beauty, art, nature and the sea. Even the Tourist Board of Hvar sends journalists from around the world to witness and write about it.

Guests are attracted by recommendation of the serious world of media, however they come and find "Sodom and Gomorrah". Neighbor restaurants share our fate and opinionwhat brought our heads together in this joint interventionThe reputation of our island is seriously undermined, our longtime guests now complain about the noise and leave.

Following information from www.theyachtweek.com/croatia/, "Yacht Weekwill go on during whole summer on Palmižanaevery week from June 7 until August 30; the cruises are divided in two groups, the first group Monday-Wednesday, the other Wednesday-Friday, which means that their presence on the island will be five days a weekAfter the experience of last weekwe are terribly concerned about what will happen during the summerbecause the mess was worse than last yearPalmižana bay is advertised as "Natural bay" on their internet site, and invites the guests to book a fantastic journey with partying all day and night.

Families who own private housesas well as restaurant owners of Palmižana suffer from noise dailyfamilies with children who came to the beach to enjoy the sun and the sea are forced to leave the beach because of the vulgar and indecent behavior of these young people who are making a mess all over the islandThis unbridled youth crowd passes along the paths of the island and over private property yards and gardens of Palmižana taking away the peace and integrity of Palmižana residents.

We consider it unacceptable that marina has increased the arrangement with "Yacht Weekfor this summer, disrespecting the landscape around the marina and our tourist orientation that we have been building for yearsBy this arrogantunilateral actall of us residents and guests were put in a very unfavorable situationThis type of tourism is harmful and unsustainable in the long run and we will feel its consequences for years to come if the trend continues. Local inhabitants and guests feel abused by wild visitors whose only goal is to get drunk with no security guardspolice or communal monitors aroundWe consider it to be a stepmother relationship towards one of the nicest and most profiled tourist island on the Adriatic coast.

Our short-term requirements are as follows:


1. We request to introduce the presence of communal policeman on the island.

2. We request that the ban of the drinking of alcoholic beverages in public areasas well as the provision of the public peace and order, which expressly prohibits the sale of alcoholic beverages to intoxicated people, is monitored in the surrounding, not only in town of Hvar. 

3. We request that all guests be warned that they cannot walk freely over private property and harass residents and guests in their homes.

4. We request that warnings and fines are issued against smoking in nature and leaving cigarettes remains behind.

5. We request that guests be warned of the danger of fire.

Our long term requirements are as follows:

We request the termination of the contract with “Yacht Week” and similar arrangements on the island of St. Clement, district Palmižana - Vinogradišće.

We appeal to the town of Hvar and City Council members, elected by us as well, to intervene since we are a part of the municipality of the City of Hvar.

Residents of the island and guests sign together this petition and demand action. If no action is taken within 10 days we will seek lawyer’s advice for further action regarding protection of our substantive rights and compensation." 

Let's hope their efforts are rewarded with a return to peace and calm at the times when these should prevail. There is no doubt that solutions are available, if all involved cooperate in finding and implementing them.

  • About 89% of the public want their governments to do more to tackle the climate crisis – but don’t know they’re the majority

    • The Guardian is joining forces with dozens of newsrooms around the world to launch the 89% Project – and highlight the fact that the vast majority of the world’s population wants climate action. Read more

    A superpower in the fight against global heating is hiding in plain sight. It turns out that the overwhelming majority of people in the world – between 80% and 89%, according to a growing number of peer-reviewed scientific studies – want their governments to take stronger climate action.

    As co-founders of a non-profit that studies news coverage of climate change, those findings surprised even us. And they are a sharp rebuttal to the Trump administration’s efforts to attack anyone who does care about the climate crisis.

  • Discovery could provide valuable clues as to how the climate crisis might affect Antarctica, says study

    Giant, flat-topped icebergs the size of the city of Cambridge drifted off the coast of Britain during the last ice age, according to a study that has uncovered evidence of their existence for the first time.

    A series of distinctive, comb-like grooves found preserved in sediment near Aberdeen in Scotland were left behind by the underside of huge “tabular” icebergs that dragged across the North Sea floor between 18,000 and 20,000 years ago, the researchers said.

    If your ears are assaulted by the shrill piping calls of an excitable bird on the east coast of England, fear not: it’s probably an oystercatcher experiencing a midlife crisis.

    Two of the handsome black and white birds with bright red-orange bills have been found to be the oldest known oystercatchers ever recorded in Britain, clocking up at least 41 and 43 years on the mudflats of the Wash.

  • Two Belgian 19-year-olds have pleaded guilty to wildlife piracy – part of a growing trend of trafficking ‘less conspicuous’ creatures for sale as exotic pets

    Poaching busts are familiar territory for the officers of Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS), an armed force tasked with protecting the country’s iconic creatures. But what awaited guards when they descended in early April on a guesthouse in the west of the country was both larger and smaller in scale than the smuggling operations they typically encounter. There were more than 5,000 smuggled animals, caged in their own enclosures. Each one, however, was about the size of a little fingernail: 18-25mm.

    The cargo, which two Belgian teenagers had apparently intended to ship to exotic pet markets in Europe and Asia, was ants. Their enclosures were a mixture of test tubes and syringes containing cotton wool – environments that authorities say would keep the insects alive for weeks.

  • The Marches, Shropshire: In this garden we’ve had woolly aphids, rose aphids, whitefly and blackfly, now we have Californian maple aphids, who have a story of their own

    An accidental touch of a branch brings a handful of little sticky dots. Looking at the branch, the surprise is that all the lower ones are covered with a shifting pointillism of dots moving together. Under a hand lens they become autonomous animals – aphids.

    There are thousands of them, moving independently as individuals, each with a sense of purpose and moment, determined and working together. Forming clusters around scar tissue on bark wounds, walking upwards towards the canopy of opening leaves, the aphids catch the sunlight and their amber bodies shine with the viscosity of drops of honey. In the morning sun they cast shadows, an imaginary material to which old fears and prejudices stick.

    The meeting room in the prison of Villa de Etla, a town in Oaxaca, Mexico, doubles as a classroom with school desks and a small library. The walls feature motivational phrases such as “First things first”, “Live and let live” and “Little by little, you’ll go far”.

    Pablo López Alavez, a 56-year-old environmental defender, has had nearly 15 years to contemplate these sentiments – and faces 15 more, after being imprisoned for murders he says he did not commit.

  • ‘As a species, these crocs are easy to find and easy to catch. Brice Itoua is the most skilled hunter in his village. But they kill the crocs to eat – not to sell’

    The Congo dwarf crocodile is a lovely species. They’re very shy and, unfortunately, very easy to find and catch. Mostly hunted for their bushmeat, these crocs only grow up to a few feet in length and during the dry season, they often spend the daytime hiding in burrows and dens at the water’s edge. Hunters use a long, woody liana vine with a hook on the end to drag them out, before binding their snout with a shorter vine and carrying them away.

    Last summer, I shot a story about the Congo dwarf crocodile after being given access to the Lake Télé Community Reserve by the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS), which manages this protected area in the Republic of the Congo with the Congolese government.

  • Rock deposits provide first land-based evidence of Earth’s largest flood, when water surged through strait of Gibraltar

    The event that refilled the Mediterranean basin 5m years ago is thought to have been the largest flood in Earth’s history, with water surging through the present-day strait of Gibraltar 1,000 times faster than the Amazon River, filling the basin in just a couple of years. Now jumbled rock deposits on the top of hills in south-east Sicily provide the first land-based evidence for this flood.

    The megaflood theory emerged in 2009, when scientists discovered a massive eroded channel at the bottom of the strait of Gibraltar. Subsequent research has revealed scours on the sea floor, showing how the water forced its way through the shallow gap between Sicily and mainland Africa, to fill the eastern Mediterranean Sea.
