Horta ,  June 27, 2019

Coastal protection proposal presented for Porto Pim Bay and Reduto da Patrulha in Horta

The Regional Secretary for the Sea, Science and Technology stated today that the Regional Government intends to move forward with a coastal protection project in Porto Pim Bay and Reduto da Patrulha in the city of Horta.
 
This morning, Gui Menezes visited these sites, where the presentation of the intervention proposal took place. On the occasion, he highlighted the "tourism potential" of that area, adding that, through a partnership with the Village Council of Angústias, there is a planned intervention to recover the Porto Pim ramp, seeing that "it is an important sea access zone."
 
The project for the coastal protection of Porto Pim Bay and Reduto da Patrulha includes the construction of a wave energy dissipation rockfill along Rua do Castelo in order to protect the houses located there.
 
The intervention includes the construction of a concrete socle to protect the base of the southward elevation of Reduto da Patrulha as well as the plastering of the southward and eastward elevations. The protection of the footbridge base along the small beach north of the bay will be extended to the north entrance of Porto Pim beach, thus creating a footpath for pedestrians.
 
Moreover, the proposal provides for the repair of the north wall between Reduto da Patrulha and Bombardeira, maintaining the tuff rock top, and the protection of the Bombardeira wall will be lined with basalt stone, also maintaining the tuff rock on the top and on the battlements.
 
The Regional Secretary stressed that the battlements of S. Sebastião Fort will also be recovered and there plans to rebuild the guardhouse of this "historical and symbolic building."
 
Gui Menezes recalled that the Regional Government, through the Regional Directorate for Sea Affairs, concluded in 2016 an intervention to protect the base of S. Sebastião Fort, through the construction of a rockfill, an investment of about 100 thousand Euros.
 
The S. Sebastião Fort was built in the 17th century using volcanic tuff from the Monte da Guia. It was one of the few military buildings to be rebuilt around 1817, serving as prison establishment approximately until the end of World War II.
