Diagnoses of sandy beaches are carried out in Holguín

The diagnoses of sandy beaches, one of the services provided by the Center for Environmental Research and Services (Cisat) in Holguin province, continue in the eastern territory, as part of the prospective development of tourism.

Elier Córdova García, a specialist of the Coastal Management Department of that institution, told ACN that the shores of Rafael Freyre, Banes and Ramón de Antilla are included among the main poles of the sun and beach destination.

He specified that through these studies it is possible to determine the dynamics of the ecosystems in the face of natural regimes or extreme conditions, such as cold fronts and hurricanes of great intensity, common in tropical climates.

They also cover the surrounding areas such as estuaries, inland lagoons and coral reefs, by means of an environmental quality calculation, which takes into account biotic, abiotic, economic and social aspects, among them lifeguard services and bathing lockers for the population, he said.

He emphasized that Cisat is also working on the environmental recognition of tourist beaches, a new category for the management of rainwater, the classification of waste, the presence of invasive exotic species and other aspects, whose methodology allows the protection of the surrounding systems.

Holguín also has the Guardalavaca, El Faro, Caletones, Playa Blanca, El Cristo and El Peñón beaches, located in the municipalities of Banes, Gibara, Rafael Freyre and Mayarí, respectively, which have been included in the world ranking of beaches sponsored by Colombia.
