Proactive Measures at Porthmeor Beach to Prevent Flooding

The Cormac beaches team have been hard at work on Porthmeor Beach in St Ives. Cormac has been actively busy in a crucial sand-clearing operation this week. This initiative is part of a preventive strategy to mitigate the risk of flooding to local properties adjacent to the beach.

In a recent Facebook post, Cormac detailed the team’s efforts to monitor the sand levels regularly on Porthmeor Beach. The process involves a careful observation of the accumulation of sand, which, if left unmanaged, could potentially lead to flooding in nearby areas.

The team intervenes when the sand reaches levels that could pose a risk, moving it back down to the low water mark. This action effectively forms a natural barrier, preventing seawater from entering and damaging local properties.

This initiative not only helps in immediate flood prevention but also contributes to the long-term sustainability and beauty of Porthmeor Beach, making it a safer and more enjoyable space for both residents and visitors.
