Despite the COVID-19 pandemic, the recovery of Cuba's beaches has not stopped, given the importance of this natural resource prioritized in the Task Life, a State plan to confront climate change.
Doctor of Science Ernesto Tristá Barrera, director of the Coastal Engineering Commercial Division of Inversiones Gamma S.A., stated that they have taken advantage of the decrease in the number of bathers to carry out the works.
He mentioned among the projects executed in 2020 the artificial beach of the Oasis sector in Varadero, the main tourist pole of the nation, where a high standard hotel is being built.
In Varadero, he added, sand was also poured in the cove of Plaza América, and a breakwater that was dangerous in front of the emblematic Xanadú Mansion was demolished.
He said that work was completed in Pesquero beach, in Holguín, in front of a high-class facility, where there was a rocky terrace devoid of sand, and a beach with excellent conditions for use was created.
The expert said that in 2021 they will begin to dump sand in Paredón Grande key, north of Ciego de Avila, where they will dump about 400 thousand cubic meters (m3).
He added that they are preparing the recovery of the beaches of the Ancon Peninsula, in Sancti Spiritus; in Cayo Largo del Sur, located in the Caribbean Sea, in the eastern end of the Los Canarreos Archipelago, with a very important erosive problem; and in El Salado beach, in Artemisa.
