Madeira government invests in sand replenishment to stop erosion on Porto Santo beach

The regional government is investing 2.1 million euros in a multi-phase project to combat coastal erosion on Porto Santo island. The first phase involves dredging the port to restore navigability and depositing 75,000 cubic meters of sand on the submerged beach area between 19 October and 24 October. A second phase, involving the direct application of 7,800 cubic meters of sand in the Fontinha area, is scheduled for 10 November to 12 November.
