Fica concluída já no início desta semana a intervenção de enchimento do areal da praia da Fuzeta. A promessa foi deixada pela ministra do Ambiente numa visita ao local. Também as praias de Loulé, muito afetadas pelas tempestades de inverno, conseguiram com a alimentação artificial ganhar 50 metros de areal até ao mar, como mostra a reportagem da SIC.
A Fuzeta teve também a época balnear em perigo. Foi preciso avançar com uma intervenção de emergência: 400 mil euros e 40 mil metros cúbicos de areia vão permitir abrir a praia aos banhistas.
“Foi mesmo para salvar a época balnear e ainda bem que o fizemos”, afirma a ministra do Ambiente, Maria Graça Carvalho, que aproveitou o Dia Mundial do Ambiente, na sexta-feira, para visitar a reta final da intervenção na Fuzeta.
As tempestades de inverno chegaram, nalgumas zonas, a ‘comer’ 15 metros de areal. Foi preciso uma intervenção de mais de 14 milhões de euros para assegurar que nos sete quilómetros do Forte Novo a Vale do Lobo e Vale Garrão houvesse época balnear.
Seguem-se dentro de meses dragagens nos portos também da Fuzeta, Tavira e Lagos. No final do verão, será retomada a intervenção entre a Praia da Rocha e a dos Três Castelos.
“Temos tido problemas técnicos, tem sido difícil o transporte da mistura de areia e água. Não conseguimos acabar antes da época balnear por isso interrompeu-se e tirou-se tudo. Retomamos a seguir à época balnear”, explicou a ministra.
Entre obras concluídas, em curso ou contratualizadas, o investimento na reposição de areias e proteção costeira do Algarve aproxima-se dos 20 milhões de euros. Em média, a linha de costa tem recuado três metros por ano no Algarve.
