Who is affected by the phenomenon?
From the analysis of the above results, we conclude that the Ammoglossa coast is being eroded, leading to fluctuations in the beach's size. Due to climate change, this phenomenon is becoming increasingly severe. The rising sea levels and extreme weather events contribute to the erosion of the area. The impact of the changing landscape primarily affects maritime transport (fishing/tourist vessels), making seabed restoration projects necessary.

Connection with another area?
The changes in the shoreline of the study area might be linked to neighboring coastal areas. Specifically, at Ai Giannis beach on the northern side of the island, coastal processes such as wave breaking cause the suspension of fine materials (sediment), which are transported by ocean currents to the Ammoglossa area. [Coastal Erosion Study, page 106]

Consequences of restoration works:

• Negative consequences:
  Trucks used for transporting sediment caused noise and air pollution for six months. The deposition took place in a protected area (Natura 2000 site).
  The transportation of sediment (sand) resulted in large volumes of sand, which altered the natural environment in the deposition area.

• Positive consequences:
  Part of the sediment is still being used for deposition on nearby beaches to increase the shoreline.
  The opening of the channel significantly facilitated the passage of small vessels.
  The use of breakwaters delayed the movement of sand into the channel.

Solutions-Proposals:
Continuous monitoring of the phenomenon using satellite images and drones to predict the development of the issue in a timely manner.
