Lo que la naturaleza enseña
Las ciudades costeras en el Caribe, como la Heroica, están expuestas a mares de leva y de fondo generados por frentes fríos que vienen del norte y que, cuando coinciden con luna llena, pueden significar olas de altura importantes, que concluyen sus recorridos golpeando el litoral, como lo que vivimos estos últimos días.
TL;DR
- Coastal cities in the Caribbean, like Cartagena, are vulnerable to storms from the north, especially during winter months (December-March).
- These storms can cause significant waves and winds, leading to coastal erosion and flooding.
- Recent events highlight the need for better coastal protection and planning to address climate change.
- The article suggests pausing certain construction projects, like the Gran Malecón and El Laguito, to assess potential risks and implement necessary coastal defenses.
- It also points out the error in constructing the Playa Blanca pier in open sea, suggesting it should be in protected waters for safety and sustainability.
