The Life+ARCOS team has set up a follow-up system for sand input on the Vega beach (Ribadesella, Asturias).
By positioning graduated wooden stakes in the dune, the aim is to estimate the quantity of sand inputs that occur in this enclave. The Institute of Natural Resources and Land Planning of the University of Oviedo is carrying out this part of the follow-up, led by Jorque Marquínez and Rosana Menéndez.
After setting up an identical measurement system on the Verdicio beach, and yesterday on the Vega beach, all that remains is to install this system on the Barayo beach to complete the three Asturian dune systems where this study is being carried out.
