Interesting facts

A Brazilian city has been swallowed by the sea for decades, having already lost more than 500 houses and even a building in a 2 km strip, while coastal erosion threatens beaches in Chile, Colombia, Argentina, Uruguay, Peru, and the Caribbean, transforming streets, businesses, and memories into areas taken over by water.

Australia solved the problem of a beach that kept losing sand by building a 494-meter jetty into the ocean with 10 pumps buried at the sea bottom. The system, which pumps 500,000 cubic meters of sand per year through a 6.4 km pipeline under the channel bed, has been in place since 1986 and has no equivalent anywhere else in the world.

A Brazilian beach is seeing the sea get closer: erosion advances up to 1.85 meters per year, Justice suspends emergency works on the coast of SP, and almost half of São Vicente’s sandy strip already suffers from storm surges and coastal advance.

Interesting facts

Brazilian city of the tilted buildings is being “taken over” by the sea and will have a park as a natural barrier on the sand to contain erosion, storm surges, and climate impacts after the water’s advance reached stretches of the Santos waterfront.
