Plages de sable et dunes côtières
Author: The International Union for Conservation of Nature
Dans le cadre de son appui au programme WACA, l’UICN met en évidence les pressions croissantes qui menacent les plages de sable et dunes côtières en Afrique de l’Ouest. L’érosion, l’élévation du niveau de la mer, les infrastructures côtières et l’extraction de sable contribuent à la dégradation de ces écosystèmes essentiels pour la biodiversité, notamment pour les sites de nidification des tortues et des oiseaux.

IMDC: BESand - The Blue Energy Sand-Bypass System
With BESand, the Blue Energy Sand-Bypass System, IMDC offers a UNIQUE, INNOVATIVE and FEASIBLE solution to fight coastal erosion associated with the ongoing development of large commercial ports. In many cases port infrastructure intersects the littoral drift, which leads to erosion downdrift. BESand’s groundbreaking innovation is transferring wave energy back into sediment transport movement. This is achieved by an integrated concept consisting of a multipurpose breakwater, a novel hybrid Wave Energy Convertor (h-WEC) and a sand-bypass system powered by blue energy. Port infrastructure becomes thus part of the solution by creating strategic sediment reservoirs and by restoring the natural sediment supply.

To develop sustainable ports solutions which are adaptable to climate change and have net positive value a paradigm shift is required from a conventional, economic and engineering oriented approach to a stakeholder inclusive and environmental, social and economic integrated approach.
