Ministra insiste que areal das praias é livre exceto nas concessões e faixas de segurança

A ministra do Ambiente sublinhou hoje que o areal das praias é de acesso livre, exceto nas zonas concessionadas e nas faixas de segurança, lembrando que cabe às autarquias definir essas áreas e divulgar os planos de praia.

“Cabe às câmaras municipais fazer as concessões e divulgar o plano de praia, tanto através da sinalética, como — e eu aconselho vivamente —, através de um esquema à entrada da praia: ‘olhe, este espaço é concessão, este espaço é de segurança, tudo o resto é livre’”, afirmou Maria da Graça Carvalho numa visita à Praia da Fuseta-mar, em Olhão.

Questionada pelos jornalistas sobre a existência de sinalética que ainda encaminha os banhistas para as zonas da praia não concessionadas, a governante referiu que, nesses casos, a sinalética tem de ser revista para que seja colocada a informação correta e não haja dúvidas para os banhistas.

“Os presidentes de câmara têm de verificar e, se acharem que a sinalética não está bem, corrigi-la, mas não é uma coisa sistemática. A lei não mudou e estou convencida de que a maior parte da sinalética está bem e está de acordo com a lei, porque a última norma que clarifica isto é de 2012, há 14 anos”, frisou.

Falando aos jornalistas numa visita à intervenção de emergência de reforço sedimentar em curso naquela praia do distrito de Faro, Maria da Graça Carvalho reiterou que, não sendo uma obrigação legal, ajuda muito ter um esquema simples à entrada de cada praia a explicar como está organizada.

Lembrando que as regras de segurança são definidas pelas câmaras municipais em conjunto com as autoridades marítimas, a ministra do Ambiente e Ação Climática notou que a organização do areal pode e deve ter em conta as características morfológicas de cada praia.

“Por exemplo, uma praia muito grande como a de Monte Gordo será diferente de uma praia pequena como algumas em Lagos ou em Armação de Pêra”, ilustrou, referindo que, desde que respeitada a regra de que as concessões não podem exceder 30% da área útil da praia, nem 50% da frente de praia, a organização pode variar.

“A segurança pode incluir faixas em redor das concessões, em redor das entradas para a praia — que são sempre públicas —, em frente aos nadadores-salvadores e aos barcos utilizados para o salvamento, e junto ao mar. Estas são faixas de segurança. As concessões podem ser mais estreitas e ir mais perto do mar, ou podem ser mais largas e ficar mais recuadas”, exemplificou.

Esta semana, a Agência Portuguesa do Ambiente (APA) emitiu um esclarecimento técnico sobre a ocupação de áreas não concessionadas nas praias balneares, informando que os banhistas podem colocar chapéus-de-sol em frente às concessões de praia, que são áreas de uso privado que não podem exceder 30% da área útil da praia, nem 50% da frente de praia.

No esclarecimento, a APA reforça que, “em Portugal, as praias são espaços de utilização pública e de acesso livre” e refere que os Planos de Ordenamento da Orla Costeira (POOC) e os Regulamentos de Gestão das Praias Marítimas em vigor estabelecem limites para a ocupação das praias por apoios balneares.

Assim, “as áreas não abrangidas por licença ou concessão mantêm-se disponíveis para uso público, podendo ser livremente utilizadas pelos utentes, nomeadamente para a colocação de chapéus de praia, para-ventos ou outros equipamentos balneares particulares”, acrescenta a APA.

Does the Regulative Principle Regulate More than Elements?

5 June 2026 at 05:04
The irony is that many modern attempts to make worship more attractive to the world often makes worship less distinctly Christian, but the church is most compelling when she is most faithful to her identity. The church is most missional when she is most distinctly the church.   One of the more common arguments in... Continue Reading

Yet those who cannot read can hear the spoken word, which is how God’s Spirit worked through his apostles to convert the heathen.

“Praying in the Holy Spirit”: What Does Jude 20 Mean for Christians Today?

5 June 2026 at 05:01
In an age of distraction, superficiality, and spiritual confusion, Christians must recover serious, Scripture-shaped, Spirit-dependent prayer. Not theatrical prayer. Not mystical speculation. Not cold formalism. But humble, biblical, Christ-centred communion with the living God.   Among the shorter books of the Bible, the letter of Jude contains some remarkably weighty exhortations. Writing to Christians threatened... Continue Reading

Calibrating a Dial or Rendering a Verdict?

If homosexual desire is a form of “unnatural” desire, then it must be addressed as such. The church must decide whether it will accept or reject it as compatible with ordained office. A verdict must be rendered.   The current discussion surrounding ordination and same-sex attraction has largely been framed in terms of degree. How... Continue Reading

Jean-Marc Sabatier on Emerging Viruses, Vaccines, and Alpha-Gal Syndrome

Interview with Jean-Marc Sabatier by François Cotard on emerging viruses

Interview with Jean-Marc Sabatier by François Cotard on emerging viruses

During a lengthy interview broadcast on alternative media platforms, Jean-Marc Sabatier shared his views on several current public health topics, including hantaviruses, the Ebola virus, and Alpha-Gal syndrome.

Hantaviruses Under Scrutiny

The interview first focused on hantaviruses, a family of viruses that can cause pulmonary syndromes or hemorrhagic fevers. Jean-Marc Sabatier noted that these viruses are generally transmitted through contact with the feces, urine, or saliva of infected rodents and are not easily spread from person to person.

According to Sabatier, Moderna’s development of an mRNA vaccine targeting certain hantavirus strains as early as 2024 raises questions, particularly because these viruses are considered to have limited pandemic potential. He also described several biological mechanisms associated with these infectious agents and discussed laboratory research involving pseudoviruses.

The speakers emphasized that, based on the information available to them, the number of reported cases in Europe remains limited and that the situation does not currently warrant major concern.

Ebola: Vigilance and Debate Over Vaccination Strategies

The second part of the interview addressed the Ebola virus, particularly the Bundibugyo strain, which is currently being monitored in Central Africa.

Jean-Marc Sabatier reviewed the biological characteristics of the virus, its high fatality rate under certain circumstances, and its modes of transmission, primarily through contact with bodily fluids. He stressed that Ebola outbreaks have historically been contained through targeted public health measures.

The two participants also discussed funding for vaccine research directed at this specific strain. They expressed skepticism about the possibility of large-scale vaccination campaigns being implemented if the virus were to spread beyond Africa.

In addition, several potential treatments were mentioned, including certain monoclonal antibodies and older medications such as ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine, although their effectiveness remains a subject of debate within the scientific community.

Alpha-Gal Syndrome and Red Meat Allergy

The third topic concerned Alpha-Gal syndrome, a red meat allergy that can develop following bites from certain tick species, particularly the Lone Star tick, which is found primarily in North America.

Jean-Marc Sabatier explained that the condition results from an immune reaction to a sugar molecule known as galactose-α-1,3-galactose, which is present in most mammals but absent in humans.

During the discussion, the participants referred to various claims circulating on social media regarding Bill Gates’s alleged involvement in programs related to ticks or synthetic meat. They suggested that connections between these topics might exist, although no direct evidence was presented during the interview.

Ongoing Criticism of Public Health Institutions

Throughout the conversation, the participants expressed skepticism toward certain public health institutions, including the World Health Organization (WHO), regulatory agencies, and major pharmaceutical companies.

Jean-Marc Sabatier specifically criticized the development of mRNA vaccines and argued that dissenting voices face difficulties being heard within scientific and media circles. He stated that he himself has experienced a form of marginalization because of his views.

A Call for Caution

In conclusion, despite the concerns raised during the interview, Jean-Marc Sabatier encouraged listeners not to panic in response to new public health alerts. According to him, it is important to maintain a critical mindset, consult multiple sources of information, and closely monitor evolving epidemiological situations without resorting to alarmism.

What is the Seal of the Holy Spirit?

4 June 2026 at 05:04
We might say that baptism is the visible sign of the Spirit’s invisible work within us that tangibly shows God’s seal upon us and his promise to save in the gospel.   Paul speaks of the Spirit sealing believers in three texts (2 Cor. 1:21–22; Eph. 1:13; 4:30). While interpreters often associate this sealing with... Continue Reading

While our experience of the visible church is fallible—flawed, messy, and subject to error—it remains the apple of God’s eye and the earthly expression of Christ’s bride.

This Is How We Know We Know

4 June 2026 at 05:01
Religion is not defined by a number of opinions, or by a collection of articles of faith, but rather by practice and obedience to the known will of God. This is because knowledge is a duty in relation to something else—it is instrumental to something else—it is not principally intended for itself, but for obedience.... Continue Reading

Absorbing Frustration in the Home

4 June 2026 at 05:01
Christ doesn’t lead His bride with irritation and volatility, and He doesn’t abandon her in distress. He leads with strength under control. So when frustration rises in the home, the first response shouldn’t be explosion or retreat, but self-government.   In my article yesterday about kingdom utility, I wrote that a husband is useful to...

Bullet Points—Kinism and The Sin of Noticing

I have noticed that the term “race” does not appear in the Bible.  It is a relatively new term in the history of mankind.  The terms “race” and “ethnicity” have replaced the biblical word “nation.”  The word nation refers, first of all, to a people who have a common biological ancestor.    I have noticed...

No Church, No Problem?
