Moraig Beach
Alicante Coasts Service –office under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Environment- is currently performing a revision and improvement of the protective mesh on the vertical walls of the surroundings of Moraig Cove in El Poble Nou de Benitachell. The work began last Thursday close to the beach area and involves the replacement of damaged meshes and placing new ones in strategic locations where potentially could occur a landslide.
The Provincial Service reported being undertaken slope stabilization in cliffs located in public lands. The latest steps taken in this direction were made in 2007 and 2008 when triple torsion meshes, static and dynamic barriers were placed. Now, the deterioration of these elements and the danger of possible landslides have motivated the replacement, which is scheduled to end later this year. Also, before the summer Coasts department conducted two emergency fixes in two specific areas for risk of landslides.
The tasks scheduled consist of the sanitizing and manual clearing of slopes, replacing triple twist mesh and the installation of static and dynamics barriers.
