Analysis of coastal risks in the face of climate change in the Balearic Islands (2021)

This report presents the results of the assessment of the vulnerability and exposure of coastal natural and socio-economic assets to the risks associated with climate change in the Autonomous Community of the Balearic Islands. This information has served as a basis for the drafting of a Plan for Adaptation to the Effects of Climate Change in the Maritime-Terrestrial Public Domain assigned to the Autonomous Community of the Balearic Islands.

Coasts for Change Project (2018-2021)

COSTAS POR EL CAMBIO is a project aimed at informing the Balearic society of the conclusions of the work carried out by SOCIB, in collaboration with researchers from UIB and IMEDEA, on the exposure, vulnerability and risk of coastal flooding associated with the sandy beaches of the Balearic Islands.

Study of the current conditions of Cala Millor beach (Mallorca) and proposal of lines of action for its improvement during the summer of 2017.

This document summarises the results of the study carried out by the Instituto de Hidráulica Ambiental deCantabria (IHCantabria), at the request of the Consorcio de Turismo de Son Servera y SantLlorenç, on the situation of Cala Millor beach after the storms of last winter (2016-2017) and the proposal of alternatives for the summer.

Strategy for the protection of the coastline in the Balearic Islands considering the effects of climate change (2021)

The strategy is a guide for action on the coasts of Mallorca, Menorca, Ibiza, Formentera, Cabrera and Dragonera, which aims to achieve internal coherence in the management of the actions carried out by Costas within its competences. It also presents a diagnosis of the coastline, divided into "management units", in order to identify the problems posed by the effects of climate change and the level of risk in each section. In drawing up this strategy, account has been taken of the government's proposals to limit the creation of artificial beaches and the dune and beach system, and to assess the role of posidonia in issues such as coastal erosion protection. The aim is to make the Balearic coastline more resilient in the face of the climate emergency, giving priority to its restoration.

Ten years of morphodynamic data on a micromareal urban beach: Cala Millor (Western Mediterranean)

This publication compiles a set of morphological and hydrodynamic data from more than a decade of the urban microtidal beach of Cala Millor (Balearic Islands, Western Mediterranean Sea). It includes data from May 2011 to October 2020 on: topobathymetry, video-monitored shoreline positions, meteorological parameters, current information, and wave and sea level data from Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) measurements. Sediment size values are also included.publicación recopila un conjunto de datos morfológicos e hidrodinámicos de más de una década de la playa urbana micromareal de Cala Millor (Illes Balears, mar Mediterráneo Occidental).

Climate change impacts on the coast

The purpose of this viewer is to provide regional criteria and indicators for the design and development of the Balearic Islands Coastal Flood Adaptation Plan (PIMA ADAPTA-COSTAS).
