Beach restoration with geotextile tubes as submerged breakwaters in

Yucatan, Mexico:Ing E. Alvareza,, Ramiro Rubiob, Herbert Ricaldeb

Site condition:

The beaches of the Northern coast of Yucatan in Mexico have been in

a permanent erosion process estimated at1m per year .

Proposed solution:Woven polypropylene geotextile tubes were considered optimal for

the beach restoration project.
