Rehabilitación funcional de dunas en la playa Guanabo, Playas del Este de la Habana, Cuba

Abstract

Guanabo Beach, located in the Sibarimar Cove, Havana, Cuba, is a coastal sector, for decades, have been affected by the process of erosion and at the moment presents a critical environmental situation. The study area has an approximate longitude of 1 974 m and extends among the streets 462 and 500, perpendicular to this beach. The main objective of the present work is to show the current state of this littoral section and to offer the design parameters for the conformation of a unique dunar cord, following the previous national and international experiences. Guanabo Beach has a very degraded area of dunes due to the intense urbanization of this coastal sector. These dunes have little development and break into fragments given the presence of rigid constructions, perpendicular intersections to the coastline and collected of sewers that drainages until the swimming area. It is proposed the construction of a continuous dune, with a height between the 3 and 4 m above the sea level, a width among 30 and 35 m, and slopes with range between 15 and 20°, and to follow that purpose a total volume of 99 130 m3 of fluffy sand is needed. Intends the construction of 18 gangplanks to access to the beach. To achieve an effective execution of the project it is necessary, as well, to eliminate the elements that contribute to the deterioration of this coastal sector and harm the stability and maintenance of the rehabilitated dune, as well as the amplification of the sunny area.

La playa Guanabo, ubicada en la ensenada de Sibarimar, La Habana, Cuba, es un sector costero que ha estado afectado, durante décadas, por el proceso de la erosión y actualmente presenta una crítica situación ambiental. El área de estudio tiene una longitud aproximada de 1 974 m y se extiende entre las calles 462 y 500, perpendiculares a dicha playa. El principal objetivo del presente trabajo es mostrar el estado actual de este tramo litoral y ofrecer los parámetros de diseño para la conformación de un cordón dunar único, teniendo en cuenta las experiencias nacionales e internacionales. Guanabo presenta un área de dunas muy degradada dada la intensa urbanización de este sector costero. Las dunas tienen poco desarrollo y se encuentran fragmentadas dada la presencia de construcciones rígidas, bocacalles perpendiculares a la línea de costa y colectoras de albañales que drenan hasta la zona de baño. Se propone la construcción de una duna continua, con una altura entre los 3 y 4 m sobre el nivel del mar, un ancho entre 30 y 35 m, y pendientes que oscilan entre los 15 y 20°, para lo cual se necesita un volumen total de 99 130 m3 de arena esponjada. Se propone la construcción de 18 pasarelas para acceder a este sector costero. Para lograr una efectiva ejecución del proyecto es necesario, además, eliminar los elementos que contribuyen al deterioro de la playa y perjudican la estabilidad y mantenimiento de la duna rehabilitada, así como la ampliación del área de sol.
