Sand colour at Cuba and its influence on beach nourishment and management

The colour of 93 beaches in Cuba was assessed in CIEL*a*b* colour space. Study sites comprised exposed and sheltered mainland beaches and keys. Notwithstanding the limited extension of this country, beaches show real colour variability due to mineralogical differences in rock outcrops in the various...

description The colour of 93 beaches in Cuba was assessed in CIEL*a*b* colour space. Study sites comprised exposed and sheltered mainland beaches and keys. Notwithstanding the limited extension of this country, beaches show real colour variability due to mineralogical differences in rock outcrops in the various watersheds, the proximity of the coral reef and the shell fragments originated in open coast or mangrove areas. PCA performed on the L*, a* and b* parameters allowed beach groupings which fitted with their geographical locations and identified those altered by beach nourishment. Sand lightness was considered by taking into account visitor's preferences, addressed to very clear sand, which is infrequent in mainland Cuba. One strongly coloured beach was found, for which a geosite institution is proposed. The impact of beach nourishment on native sand colour was studied and the beach at Varadero, probably the most popular Cuban beach, was negatively impacted by this activity. Reconstruction was necessary after severe erosion induced by Sea Level Rise and hurricanes. Recommendations for wise beach nourishment in tropical areas are given.

Los sitios de estudio comprendían playas y llaves continentales expuestas y protegidas. A pesar de la extensión limitada de este país, las playas muestran una variabilidad de color real debido a las diferencias mineralógicas en los afloramientos rocosos en las distintas cuencas hidrográficas, la proximidad del arrecife de coral y los fragmentos de conchas originados en zonas de costa abierta o manglares. Los PCA realizados en los parámetros L *, a * y b * permitieron agrupaciones de playas que se ajustaron a sus ubicaciones geográficas e identificaron aquellas alteradas por la nutrición de las playas. Se consideró la ligereza de la arena teniendo en cuenta las preferencias de los visitantes, dirigidas a la arena muy clara, que es poco frecuente en la parte continental de Cuba. Se encontró una playa de color intenso, para la cual se propone una institución geosita. Se estudió el impacto de la nutrición de la playa en el color arena nativo y la playa de Varadero, probablemente la playa cubana más popular, se vio afectada negativamente por esta actividad. La reconstrucción fue necesaria después de una severa erosión inducida por el aumento del nivel del mar y los huracanes. Se dan recomendaciones para la nutrición sabia de la playa en áreas tropicales.Pranzini, Enzo-97559a90-f372-428a-861e-ebbf629f2e0a-0Anfuso, Giorgio-1e00e5c6-4d3a-4aae-a87f-35aec056fe04-0Botero Saltaren, Camilo-8f41940f-ad0b-4f1c-b1ee-839b8a8895e6-0Cabrera, Alfredo-48e59470-c1ca-4fb5-b7bf-665282c288c1-0Apin Campos, Yanet-7662f7f5-d1d4-4fb2-ab92-08519fdf3d04-0Casas Martínez, Grace-14474a34-01b7-4d49-94bd-a25eec807b74-0Williams, Allan Thomas-718952e8-42ba-4259-a8ac-95a2af11cea8-0engUniversidad de la CostaAttribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 Internationalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccesshttp://purl.org/coar/access_right/c_abf2ABBeach nourishmentBeachesCIELSand colourTourismAlimento de playaPlayasColor arenaTurismoSand colour at Cuba and its influence on beach nourishment and managementColor arena en Cuba y su influencia en la nutrición y manejo de las playas.Artículo de revistahttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501http://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_2df8fbb1Textinfo:eu-repo/semantics/articlehttp://purl.org/redcol/resource_type/ARTinfo:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersionPublicationORIGINALSand colour at Cuba and its influence.pdfSand colour at Cuba and its influence.pdfapplication/pdf145472https://repositorio.cuc.edu.co/bitstreams/ca99d90d-e5e3-4501-b249-3f91b52f4844/download2f24cdf24b065401e91f2a6bfa8fa39fMD51CC-LICENSElicense_rdflicense_rdfapplication/rdf+xml; charset=utf-81031https://repositorio.cuc.edu.co/bitstreams/e3fe4dba-45ea-44cb-b8cb-09df06750896/download934f4ca17e109e0a05eaeaba504d7ce4MD52LICENSElicense.txtlicense.txttext/plain; charset=utf-81748https://repositorio.cuc.edu.co/bitstreams/89efc96c-a94d-4105-a65f-4b865c9f4288/download8a4605be74aa9ea9d79846c1fba20a33MD53THUMBNAILSand colour at Cuba and its influence.pdf.jpgSand colour at Cuba and its influence.pdf.jpgimage/jpeg44823https://repositorio.cuc.edu.co/bitstreams/7c6c371f-7da8-406c-bee7-aaf897a71f97/download5de9f94e80b7d875247623e8326ac23bMD55TEXTSand colour at Cuba and its influence.pdf.txtSand colour at Cuba and its influence.pdf.txttext/plain1459https://repositorio.cuc.edu.co/bitstreams/49d1f50d-9eb8-4942-8427-4f747349a9df/download9ee3334e1b15ca009844a7dddce8e827MD5611323/4213oai:repositorio.cuc.edu.co:11323/42132024-09-17 10:53:15.552http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 Internationalopen.accesshttps://repositorio.cuc.edu.coRepositorio de la Universidad de la Costa CUCrepdigital@cuc.edu.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
