Coastal Erosion in Cyprus: Need for Protection and Restoration Projects
October 29, 2024
Coastal erosion in Cyprus is causing serious issues, with some areas losing up to 50 centimeters of shoreline annually. The Ministry of Transport has planned protection works along 78 kilometers of coast, with significant projects already completed in areas such as Geroskipou, Paphos, and Larnaca. Since 2012, substantial efforts have been made to restore and protect the affected shores. The primary causes of erosion are climate change and human activities.
