International Conference on Management and Restoration of Coastal DunesAbstract
Valdevaqueros dune area is located in the SW of Spain
(Tarifa, Cádiz) and represents an important recreational
zone. However, after Spanish Shore Act approbation in
1988, sand extractions were prohibited and the system
began to loose stability producing the dune invasion
landwards.
The main objective of this paper is to present an
integrated study of alternatives for Valdevaqueros dune
area, considering all the problems involved: dune
degradation, invasion of Punta Paloma road by the
mobile dune, excessive recreational pressure on the
dune area and adjacent lagoon, parking lots
resettlements, and undesirable land uses in the
surroundings, among the most important problems
found in that area. In particular, a cost-benefit analysis
for different alternatives was carried out regarding the
road-dune interaction.
