Some of the other beaches in the Playa del Carmen area and along parts of the Riviera Maya coast are also being affected.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The beach erosion we are seeing is likely to be due to a combination of factors such as strong winds, climate change, changing currents and damage to offshore reefs, among others, although oceanographers and the authorities have yet to reach a consensus on the cause. Erosion occurs naturally from season to season and the beach recovers over time; however, this has not been the case this year. We have joined forces with other Corasol resorts in a project to protect the shoreline and are taking the following steps to mitigate the effects of erosion.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Actions with a short-term impact\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We are protecting the structures that are exposed to erosion. Following the recommendations of coastal erosion experts and the authorities, we have demolished the ramp next to La Palapa del Sol and are building a stone wall to protect the restaurant, this will help retain the sand that is washed up by the waves and will reconnect the beach on both sides of the property so that our members and guests can enjoy their morning walks.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Actions with a mid-term and long-term impact\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We are collaborating with UNAM scientists (National Autonomous University of Mexico) and biologists from the State Government Ecology Department on a beach restoration project. We are currently compiling all the environmental impact studies needed to obtain the permits and official approval from the authorities to begin work. The plan is to choose an option that will help replenish dune vegetation (<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">salt-loving dune plants have extensive root systems that bind the sand and help keep it in place<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">), restore the beach, protect marine flora and fauna, and in the long term contribute to the regeneration of offshore reefs and the growth of new coral colonies in the bay.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We will keep you posted as we move forward and will share further information as it becomes available.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":8455,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8453","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-information"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/membersarea.royalresorts.com\/News\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8453","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/membersarea.royalresorts.com\/News\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/membersarea.royalresorts.com\/News\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/membersarea.royalresorts.com\/News\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/membersarea.royalresorts.com\/News\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8453"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/membersarea.royalresorts.com\/News\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8453\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8454,"href":"https:\/\/membersarea.royalresorts.com\/News\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8453\/revisions\/8454"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/membersarea.royalresorts.com\/News\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8455"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/membersarea.royalresorts.com\/News\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8453"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/membersarea.royalresorts.com\/News\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8453"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/membersarea.royalresorts.com\/News\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8453"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
