Nao diga mentiras claramente nao ve tv Portuguesa .

National media doesn't show? Shows and a lot.

it shows, but it doesn't shows often enough in my opinion, sometimes national media remmembers that erosion exists in some areas, but doesn't show the complete picture, scenarios and what we really should do, its more constructive documentarys and news reports that we need to make people more aware and make them want politicians to fight more.

Is not real.

The chinese and saudis partially make deserts green, saudis and dutch have exchanged areas where there was sea into land. The spanish i just recently saw have a similar problem to yours and by planting certain plants they seem to have some successes in stabalizing their dunes. I heared that Portugal has some huge water based project to get rare earth from the seabeds somewhere in the atlantic, maybe before investing into that, first safe your coastline i hope you manage. Also ask the EU for help, there is rarely anything else more worth safing than our cultures which derives from the way we live within nature in this case our coastlines no matter which nation. Fingers crossed and all the best from germany.

Portugal is not important tho, it's okay:)

Football is more important than climate change in Portugal. 😆

Because they don't care up in their ivory towers. Who owns and lives in the rest of the lands known as Portugal? Why do so many live on the coastline? Why is there more poor on the coastline? The planning and agenda's of those in power, how much in this post-postmodern world is actually chance. How much was planned and designed?

She gives back if you do

Exactly, our time is limited and the first cracks in the fragile world we build for ourselves are showing

I guess this is human nature; to expect stability. Now what? This is what each of us must decide, individually, or with friends and family.

It's up north. The country is basicly a rectangle.

@@puraLusa Oh, I had the impression it was three different downs, up and down the country.

​@@JonesJr876 You are right, they interviewed people from coastal towns in the north, south and west coast of Portugal.

@@JonesJr876 two names they went were apúlia and furadouro, two beaches on the north.

Good point

obrigado mano mas infelizmente os problemas não ficam por aqui eventualmente chegará ai também se é que já não chegou.

Harsh reality...it make me sad to watch this video. I feel for these people, and for humanity. We are truly caught in a catch 22 reality. How do we ride this wave?

The rising of the ocean knows no country. Galiza é o proximo

Thank you for the sympathy, but unless you live in the interior I don't see how the situation in Galicia is better than in Portugal.

@@MariaDiazskn Where I live, the coastline is rockier and higher. Less prone to erosion... Not saying it's not a problem but it's not as bad as down there...

True but, on the other hand, many countries have the same problem and, no dams. Nothing can stop the rising of the ocean

Dutch Delta works, that is all I can think about - if there is one country that has historically been battling the sea in this case its the Netherlands, God created the earth, the Dutch created the Netherlands. Also we know the waters will rise, no if's and but's. Even here in the Netherlands there is talk about evacuation and deals with countries like Austria to take in people of the Netherlands if worse case scenario happens. South Limburg where I live could become an island. We are the highest spot of the Netherlands. And not much of the Netherlands would survive the extreme predicted levels of sea-rise. There are multiple ideas floating around, protecting more than just the NL by damming off the North-sea & Black-sea in extend. Between UK & Norway, & UK & France; it would protect parts (some larger some smaller) of UK, Norway, Sweden, Finland, small part of Russia, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Germany, Denmark, Netherlands, Belgium, and a small part of France. (There is also talk about a similar thing between UK & Ireland. Which could also make them united as one, pump out the excess water and you got land the Dutch way. But this would have a price; turning the sea into a lake basically, what could be seen as an ecological disaster as well. There probably is no win-win, and still people use fossil fuel planes because of tourism and economies, fossil fuel cars, polluting industries chemicals and plastics, mining we rape the earth and this is part of the outcome. We are overpopulating, and just the fact that I am communicating with you via this medium and the technologies to make this possible - can we live without them? The device has plastic and minerals/metals needed, power & power plants, data centers, all this also produces heat. We are heating up the world with our lives. Cities and metropolises and cosmopolises - they hold on to heat why they are warmer. Huddle together for heat, is a tactic to survive colds when with a group. Also we keep forgetting that the Antarctic is a landmass maybe for the new Prozac nation? Living conditions would be less ideal there probably, but it would also have potentials. However certain humans have probably evolved better to be living there than others. People at the top of the North pole. Their seasons and conditions are not the same as at the equator. Also with possible shifting poles, also when the ice is no longer pushing down on the Northern and Southern axis, who knows... many speculations, and parts overlooked. We don't really know, we can't really predict. Look at freak weather events and our lack of predicting, working with these. The working class still has to face the same daily routines to keep the economies turning. Which brings us to automatizations, bots & AI - this class of people is for large parts expendable to those in power. They are just a number - worker bee 17.245.890.333. Look at the pandemic over the past years, who got richer, who didn't. This trend is seen throughout human history. (the) Exploiters & (the) exploited. The rich and ruling (elites) & the working class and the poor. And some people will do a lot for money / survival; why there are these businesses/corporations tied in. They offer money and let others do their dirty works. How much will humans be part of the mass extinctions taking place at the moment on earth. Over fishing, bee extinctions, pollutions. And they know because we already have bots to do that job if need bee. Look at the the things they made, why? Georgia Guide Stones? The New - New World Order? Homo Deus? What is the Order in/of the World? How are Americans doing? They claim to be the global leader. And if not how are the Chinese doing, the average people of course? And if this is not the next power in line; how are the average Russians doing? Life expectancies? All these aspects of humanity are tied in together - why has no one done anything / not much against climate change - how long was there the debate between denying and inactivity? And who is suffering the most? The poor, those that did the least in causing this. That is human history 101. We all pass away in the end (or no longer - but again this is not for the poor or working class; they can't afford this). Legacies and family/generational wealth (power). PS economically seen; the millionaires are the new "working-class" in our post-postmodern system with the world richest. the top has most of the money hoarded, the bottom has the crumbs that keep the illusion of economic circulation going. All this is popping, people have been waking up and presented the next/newest illusions ; meta & cryptocurrency. That is the reality, not for the poor and working class living their daily lives/struggles. But for the people that feel and think they are above that, superior to that. Nurture & cultures / societies. Do these richest countries/empires have social structures? Now still wonder why we have been failing? Portugal also has an very interesting history, human history, cultural history. Why do so many people live at the Portuguese coast, and what about the lands more inward? People and living at coasts, because that is more easy. Or it used to be. Why so many poor there, who owns the lands inward? Economies, exploitations, and slavery - Portugal or should we pin this on Spain? I am a Dutchy - the Hollanders and Zealanders did the same? Why and how The Netherlands could exist, why I am not German, French or Spanish, or Roman if we take it back to the historical civilizations, and not the prehistoric - Doggerland, just to bring it all back to the start about damming off the North Sea. What is constant in this world? Or cut our losses and run? Going savage and wild? Take what we need - like the rich have been doing in history? Just invade homes / lands of peoples? Eat the rich? Take the ice-cream and cake? Humanity could do so much better!

Also coastal land reclamation.

We need to ensure the coastal regions of Portugal gets completely wiped away, this includes all types of infrastructure and land.

@@dimitrygornomelikov3146 why you want to destroy everything?

People need to take action instead of complaining

Everyone will move to Coimbra

@@0dyss3us51 people complain very softly about it. and you see local city halls putting sand before summer in some places (like in costa da caparica). but it's a bit like when you seen someone growing during your whole life, you dont notice they're growing cause you're there the whole time. for most people in portugal i would say that's exactly it.

If y’all tear down the houses you will have beach. The beach is moving inland. Same situation in Florida USA. Every time it rains in Miami it floods with Sea water. The Government has spent millions and millions on pumps. It’s ridiculous!!!

As I can see y'all have plans for governments, I am very much interested in hearing them.

Biggest wave in the world! Nazare looks like an amazing place

lol you guys are taking all the sand, eh

Very important details that would never make it to the political headlines because it doesn't help the left and green extremists in their cause to control the people.

Thank you for adding this information .... also a question could be did they forget to include, or where they not allowed to include? Money, money, money.... greed and corruption are human conditions, the lack of care for the poor are human conditions. Human history shows this over and over.

Look up the charts, sea levels haven't changed for 60 years, you take all this crap in like a toilet...do some research. How do you think continental drift works you nitwit, its nature.

The Netherlands is proof that that statement is false, we have been holding back the sea succesfully for many many decades.

My grandmother had a caravan @ Hornsea I'm guessing 15 metres has been took in 20 years that I know of You can see the lookouts on the beach from WW2 That was once in land

Sky News spend every night claiming that climate change is a lie, fostered by the ‘mad’ left. I don’t know who is pushing this idea, but they are not helping. Murdoch has agreed that climate change is a fact but his not-news outlets say differently. They need to hear from every person who knows and can show what’s happening here in Australia.

Which beach was that?

Too late to avert catastrophes. Prepare to adapt to a hothouse Earth.

I'm sorry for your losses of your paradise. You are not alone, and we all contributed. the 80's & 90's and the rise of the trend of: Global warming aka Climate change. What did we do? More planes, cars, and pollutions happened since then onward - to feed the beast; Economy. Tourism & Portugal - you need it. And now the paradise has been lost - story of our lives. Exploitations of humanity from nature and all living things.

Beautiful country!👍🌸

True. Same with Figueira da Foz. Praia da Claridade feels like the Sahara desert. Abraço

Im from Faro, and when I was a kid, the beach was huge, now sometimes is just a mere 50 meters of sand.

That's funny because maps from before 1930 don't show any difference.

Well, that one does. And, maybe it's also indicating a time beforehand.

@@GoodVideos4 can you send a link to the map?

@@Communism.is.a.cancer No, not everything is on the internet. It was also from a 'World of Wonder' Encyclopedia, of 1936. And no, liberalism is not always 'syphilis of the brain'.

It’s a battle you can’t win

Nature changes all the time, nothing stays the same or we would be still in the ice age, make the best of it if you can make a living from nature.

@@ianbardon8581 wise words.

We didn't.

The best solution so far. But pollution is killing seaweed

Is not real.

People build in beautiful vallies and are shocked when it floods. They knew from the start it was a flood plane. 🙄

@@ianbardon8581 hard to grow crops out of rock and sand buddy. you want to eat, right? floodplains have very fertile soil..

@@0xsergy yes they do, but don't think it yours for ever and build a house, foolish don't you think buddy.

@@ianbardon8581 not a house but a farm for sure.

@@0xsergy farm the land ok , live elsewhere, a little foresight needed.

We must stop nature

its has accelerated because of climate chnage that nature itself can't keep up

It’s the speed at which it’s happening. A little research would do you a lot of good

The Dutch disagree haha

@@motttta the dutch sea is 95m deep, mean depth. the atlantic is 4kms deep, mean depth. Probably won't be as easy if you gotta fill in 4kms of missing land...

Indeed

People are the case of their own destruction.

The wall should prevent erosion of land that is behind the wall but makes the erosion of sand infront of the walls faster. But if you take away the walls the choice is to move the houses further inlands because the land will be washed away by the sea. With no walls the beach will move further inland. That is what I think. Piers prevent currents that transport sand sideways, so some beaches will gain of the piers and some will lose incomming sand.

Don't compare the shallow north sea with the strength and depth of the Atlantic Ocean. Very different Coastlines.

comparing the North Sea with the North Atlantic is like comparing a bathtub with an olympic pool

They fight the sea with huge concrete. dams and dikes. They are under sea level, its totally different from Portugal. We have 900 kms off coastline, mainly beaches. The dutch they have a tiny coastline, without beaches. The ducht experience, Has nothing to do with the Portuguese reality.

@@jpmtlhead39 Still... knowledge sharing is never a waste of time. They may have some info to be adapted for your unique problems.

@@braveconcepts if it was the case, Portugal already had seek some kind of "help" from the dutch. But like i said, its a completly different situation.

‼👆

More money, short term fix, it won't stop.

sand will only flow down. if they remove sand at the bottom... it will fall in from the sides.

Well said, it's not rocket science that over a given period it's likely that any coastal area is going to be affected by erosion. There are no doubt hundreds if not thousands of examples of unusually big storms coinciding with Spring tides that shift unfathomable quantities of sand over a period of a few weeks. There's an example in Cornwall in the UK where in the 1700's a deep water port was filled with sand from the cove around the corner. The Cove had been a sandy beach and was left rocky bereft of sand and the deep water port was rocky and sand free was turned into a sandy beach in a matter of a week. If you're going to build on a beach, you have to consider it as a potentially short term prospect and agree to clean up the mess when your house tips into the ocean!

yeah buddy, this is fake news, make america great again

Of all the species Mother Earth could continue to thrive without, it would be the one that rapes, pillages and exploits her resources more than any another ......humans, the never ending virus.....

I think they know very well about them, but it's hard to tell if they want to use them on the whole coast.

That last fisherman with the idea for his project is absolutely correct!! We know that they are a South African invention/design born of necessity and that they have worked well for decades now. They are inexpensive to make and simple to drop on site. They are also very easy to copy!

Fix one thing and you make another problem. 20 years ago the whole beach dropped 4 meters at Salt Rock Ballito , one nature may bring it back. We are not in control and never will be.

I'll remind you that the Netherlands has been holding back the ocean with great success for many decades now, even raising entire provinces from the seabed, but you can not do it by shoveling some sand onto a beach, it requires many billions of dollars of investment into professional hydraulic engineering projects, as well as the creation of forts, PROPER dykes, sluices, pumping stations, you name it.

@@imjusthappytobedepressed1123 Yes, the Netherlands is an example the rest of the world should look to for ideas about the correct approach to the problem.

Well said, mankind thinks he can change everything. Nature is the boss. The more we do the worse things will be, adapt to the change.

If the sea rises because climate change the process you described will go much faster. And the most of the beaches will move inlands.

Lol, people here argue they dont want any proposed solution to turn the country into a place like the Netherlands, which is an environmental disaster

Maybe. But the North Sea is very shallow, the Atlantic is not.

I think it is not quite that easy. Not all coasts and seas are built the same. This is a bit of a different kind of beast. It is a coast that at many places rises quite apruptly from the ocean floor where it meets the Atlantic Ocean as the edge of the continent. In comparison both Israel and the Netherlands are not quite as exposed that might make it difficult for Portugal to have the same success in rebuilding their coastline, unfortunately.

Go check the sea in Portugal. You Will then understand why its so different. We are IN the atlantic ocean.

Not the same as Holland, in fact completely different coast, seas, sea bottoms, an totally different problem!The issue here in Portugal its not draining n control the water invading a country largely below sea level (which is basically what the Dutch do very well… when the ocean doesn’t take it all as it happens from time to time). In fact our problem its coastal erosion. Same problem of 70% of the coastal regions around the planet, according many scientists caused by the rise of the oceans level. Basically the same “fight” of all coastal countries of the world… Amplified and more serious when it hits populated areas. Which is the case of Portugal where 3/4 of the population lives by the sea. Simple as that!

I love the sea, I swim & kite surf but live 10k inland, best of both worlds. 😆

sea levels, dams blocking sediment from reaching shores, etc.

How much has the sea risen?

Those "little baby fish" are sardines, pmsl. They are a good size for eating.

Auntie maria. it doesn't hit home yet that is why you are unconcerned. but you can see locals losing their minds here while you are being served with o Telenovas to distract you from it all.

DW over does over do things.

Thanks for watching!

Those are sardines. Fully grown.

@@mattmccallum2007 yes, on the white basket at the restaurant. But please look at the fish net when its pushed from the sea to land

Yes!. They have created their own doom by existing on an earth that USA and China are polluting up with Carbon causing sea levels to rise... wait a second. They are the victims. Look to the countries with the greatest GDPs and Carbon emissions if you wish to point fingers. Portugal is doing what they can to keep citizens happy. They can't fix Americans destroying the world.

@@0xsergy It's not the sea level raising that causes the erosion, it's the sand not being naturely repositioned in those points. Dunes invasion, dams on the rivers, dragging of estuaries, pontoons along the shores to "protect the beaches". These are old problems, long time ago detected but nobody has done anything. And believe me, the Portuguese governments don't give a shit about citizens happiness.

Which beaches are you refering? If you talk about Portugal some places do have a problem due to illegal construction in dunes. Usually people with money and connected to the local governments. Some places in the South , region of Faro decided to put a stop to these constructions which was a bold move due to conflicts with the population. But in the long term that is the best option because the dunes need the space to move .

The people that were building on the beaches were not rich... They were mostly fishermen.. now... The fishermen sold then to rich people for profit, yes

You know uts nice to have a view of the ocean but not so nice to have the ocean in your living room.

yes but if they don’t do the replenishment then it will just swallow the shore completely. It’s at least keeping it neutral

É falso já fui muito pior a 50 anos atrás mas agora é moda
