AB Located in Tarifa, near the Strait of Gibraltar, themigration of Valdevaqueros dune was controlled bysand extractions for building purpose. As the SpanishShore Act was approved in 1988, the sale of sand wasforbidden and the dune started to move forward,burying the leeward pine wood and the only road toMaspalomas village.Consequently, six topographic levellings have beentaken during the last eleven years. Sedimentarygranulometries and meteorological features were takeninto account. D50 values have been calculated for dunefoot, windward and dune top. Wind speed threshold isestimated above 15 km/h. East winds are responsiblefor dune movement, whose advance rate has reachedvery high values (over 18 m/year). Slope andvolumetric changes have been determined, providing aclearer explanation of the dune evolution
