Aberaeron's ambitious new sea defenses are facing unexpected challenges! Has this massive £36 million structure created more problems than they solve for the iconic Welsh harbour?
Hear from locals as they dissect the surprising impact of the north-to-south construction. While designed to combat rare north-westerly winds, the defenses are inadvertently funneling the prevailing south-westerly winds, leading to significant sediment build-up at the harbour entrance.
This unintended consequence has turned a critical entry point into a hazardous obstacle. Discover how longshore drift and the breakwater's design are causing increasing deposition, narrowing the already small passage.
Can Aberaeron find a solution to this rocky start and restore balance to its cherished coastline?
