A recent notice issued by the Coast Guard has alerted the public regarding the presence of floating logs in the section of Lake Garda, particularly in the waters off the municipalities of Riva del Garda and Nago Torbole. This phenomenon was reported on the evening of Tuesday, October 8, following the heavy rainfall that affected the area.
Natural Phenomenon and Navigation Safety
The presence of wooden debris in the water is a recurring event after adverse weather conditions, such as those recently experienced. The abundant rainfall has indeed caused logs and other plant materials to break loose, making cautious navigation necessary to ensure the safety of lake users.
Coast Guard Recommendations
In light of the current situation, the Coast Guard advises all navigators to exercise particular caution during their activities on the lake. It is essential to adopt preventive measures and maintain prudent navigation, especially in areas adjacent to the mouth of the Sarca River, where the risk of encountering drifting logs is higher.
The call for caution extends to all those operating on the waters of Upper Garda, highlighting the importance of safety in natural environments subject to rapid changes, such as those caused by inclement weather.
