Waves continue to cause damage in Barra de Navidad

On the boardwalk "Marcelino García Barragán" strong waves caused damage to another restaurant located on Avenida Miguel Lopez de Legazpi. The tides continue to cause damage to buildings constructed in the maritime zone without the date is fixed this problem which worsened for at least two years and has caused excessive loss of space on the beach for a decade.
In late June, the restaurant "Popeye" suffered damage from heavy seas. The storm and hurricane rainfall continues, with the latent threat to other buildings.
Federal Deputy Michel Gabriel Gomez before cihuatlense residents of this community, committed to managing resources for oceanographic study, looking for a solution to this problem. The legislature recognized and warned that the final solution will take years to arrive.
For his part, Mayor Jesús Huerta Aguilar promotes the dredging of the lagoon in Barra de Navidad, as an alternative solution.
Last week, in France, was held an international conference on the "dynamics of the coast", in which experts from 27 countries presented two decades ago the dominant idea was to protect the coast, the beaches, with dikes, jetties and cement

Barra washing away?

Two weeks of heavy surf has done it's damage to the Barra beach. There is basically no usable beach the length of the waterfront. Even though the bulkhead still looks solid, water from waves breaking over the bulkhead washed the sand away below the tourist/police office at the head of the malecon. The next restaurant closer to town is also undermined ad has a collapsed floor. The restaurant is closed for safety reasons. The tourist/police office will probably be demolished in place and used for fill and foundation for the next building.

Almost no beach left

No sand behind the bulkhead
