La spiaggia erosa dal mare in Australia – foto

L'alta marea sta "mangiando" la spiaggia di Southport, che per non compromettere le strutture turistiche deve spendere molti soldi

GOLD COAST, AUSTRALIA - JUNE 24: A general view is seen of the damage close to beach front homes caused by beach erosion at Southport on June 24, 2013 on the Gold Coast, Australia. Large sea swells and king tides are eroding the beaches of the Gold Coast, increasing fears of the financial effect the damage will have on tourism. It has been estimated a long-term solution to protect the sea walls and foreshore will cost AUD $30 million and a proposal will be presented to the city council next month.

In questi mesi a Southport, una città vicina a Brisbane, sulla costa orientale dell’Australia, i frequenti episodi di alta marea stanno creando molti problemi alle infrastrutture turistiche: il mare sta infatti erodendo parte della spiaggia della città, costringendo il comune a un intervento di emergenza che costerà circa 30 milioni di dollari australiani (circa 21 milioni di euro).
