Bioengineering interventions, including beach nourishment, restoration of dune lines and dredging of the fishing port, to mitigate the effects of erosion and preserve the landscape of one of the most appreciated and naturalistically relevant stretches of the Apulian coast.
This is the experience carried out in Ugento, identified as a pilot case within the Triton project, which will be presented on Monday 28th September (10.00 – 12.00) in the online event “Coastal planning and the pilot case of Ugento”, organized by Apulia Region and ARTI. The initiative aims at illustrating the main issues of coastal planning in Apulia Region, with a particular focus on the actions implemented by the Municipality of Ugento, studied within the Triton project and selected, together with Bari, among those proposed by the Apulian coastal municipalities.
