Western Mediterranean: coastal development to combat erosion

Lido beach on the Sète side is closed. At this pilot site in Europe, man decided to help nature regain its rights. 250,000 m3 of sand will be taken and poured to widen the beach and rebuild the dune line destroyed by erosion. The road from Sète to Marseillan will be moved back twelve kilometers. The dune cord will be reconstituted by the addition of sand and the installation of ganivelles (wooden barriers) which will allow to retain the sand.

Work on the Lido beach on the Thau basin continues between Sète and Marseillan. The pumping station has just been activated. Review of the work done for its installation: the installation of drains under the surface. It remains to be seen whether the system is adapted to this particular geographical area, the Lido. To validate the system, scientists will monitor the experiment via 8 cameras responsible for observing the evolution of the rib line. The system will be completed in the fall with another process, submarine, to mitigate the swell. The experiment will last at least 2 years.

For several years the 12 kilometres of coast of the commune of Grau du Roi have been under attack from the Mediterranean Sea. The dunes of the Pointe de l'Espiguette play less and less their role as protective barrier. The mayor of the city Robert CRAUSTE explains the triple objective of the work in progress: protect the city, economic activities and the fragile natural environment of the Espiguette from flooding. The choice was made to upgrade the existing second-row dune, paths and embankments. Christophe ROSSO, responsible for natural areas of the city explains the reasons for this choice. The sand brought in comes from the area of the Espiguette lighthouse.
