Efectos derivados de las actuaciones antrópicas sobre los ritmos de crecimiento de la flecha litoral de El Rompido (Huelva)

Abstract

Factors which mainly controls the evolution of depositional environments along the mesotidal coast of Hue/va (SW Spain) are: 7) Sediment supply; 2) Hydrodynamic setting and 3) Artificial constructions. These factors are taken into account in this note to analyse growing in the recent past of a spit located along Piedras River mouth. It is concluded that decreasing of tidal prisma entering this estuary, caused by both natural and artificial factors, is the responsible of spit growth
