to put a large amount of sediment that would last for twenty years that would distribute itself. through natural forces along the coast so we don t have to disturb the ecosystem all the time. it took eight months to build the sand engine. dredges brought up material from the seabed ten kilometers offshore and started out here to create a huge depth of sediment as a peninsula in front of the original slender beach. twenty one and a half million cubic meters of sand what dumped here five times as much as would be usual in a standard shorter term sand replenish meant operation. the plan is for the wind waves and currents to disperse the sand from here up and down the coast replenishing beaches that face constant erosion and building up coastal
a fourteen metre tall mast was built for the project as a mount for cameras that monitor the landscape and seascape in all directions. the way we can observe development of the geometry of the send engine we can look at such a day shouldn t. we can look at. the way to look who feels an empty set and how it changes so it s a permanent servatius. the data collected over the years demonstrate that a sand engine that is a single mega nourishment designed to last for decades can indeed work. the wind waves and currents help to replenish the receding cursed line. plants are taking root on a sandbar. grass growing on the dunes helps to secure them. fifty
the role of money that may fill our state coffers one day. you are right that. rosen says instead of dreaming of mines or offshore oil wells greenland should take advantage of the resources that are already available in such abundance. the powerful forces of wind waves and currents transport mud and sand from the land into the sea. people who live on the coast the familiar with those natural forces and they know they have to stabilize their shows. and scientists in the netherlands are testing if you will present. down has become a hotspot for wind and kite surfing and a destination for holiday makers. it s just southwest of the hague on the dutch
ecosystem all the time. it took eight months to build the sand engine. dredges brought up material from the seabed ten kilometers offshore and spat it out here to create a huge depth of sediment as a peninsula in front of the original slender beach. twenty one and a half million cubic meters of sand were dumped here five times as much as would be usual in a standard shorter term sand replenishment operation. the plan is for the wind waves and currents to disperse the sand from here up and down the coast replenishing beaches that face constant erosion and building up coastal dns this is a pilot project and steve it monitors developments closely. it
one hundred years otoh how much sense do we need to cope with sea level rise is one scenario the ministry has to consider involves giving up low lying coastal areas altogether should it become too hot to defend them we don t want to think about that that maybe there will be decay someday yes to counter the erosion of its coastline the netherlands is trying a dual strategy building up defenses against the forces of wind waves and currents and harnessing those same forces to protect the coast the sand engine project is a pioneering effort to meet the challenge of rising sea levels. in mean the my flu shot shows us how it s done in the john. book it s all about trust on the screen and in real life of your in morocco has sent in
