PHOTO OF THE DAY: Watermaster repairs Cabo Tortuga shoreline

Coastal erosion has severely damaged the shoreline at Cabo Tortuga in Santa Marta, Colombia.

Watermaster is now dredging sediment from the sea and redistributing nearly 15,000 m³ of material across the affected area.

The work is part of Santa Marta’s District Disaster Risk Management Council’s response to the risk of losing the beach completely and causing permanent damage to nearby structures.
