Chiba Prefecture has compiled a plan to secure a sandy beach with a width of 40 meters or more throughout Kujukurihama, where the number of sandy beaches continues to decrease due to the construction of revetments.

Kujukurihama, which spans nine municipalities in Chiba prefecture and stretches for about 60 kilometers, is one of Japan's leading sandy beaches and has been selected as the surfing site for the Tokyo Olympics. it is continuing.

When the number of sandy beaches decreases, it is more susceptible to damage from high tides and high waves, which makes it unusable as a beach and also has an impact on the fishing industry such as the loss of shellfish.

For this reason, Chiba Prefecture has developed the first plan to protect the sandy beaches of Kujukuri Beach.

The plan aims to secure a sandy beach with a width of 40 meters or more over the next 30 years.

Each year, 90,000 cubic meters of sand are brought in from around the sand-rich fishing port, and wave-blocking blocks are constructed offshore to prevent erosion of the beach, which will restore the beach.

The total project cost is approximately 34 billion yen, and the river maintenance section of Chiba Prefecture said, "Since the sea level will rise due to global warming, further decrease in sand beach is expected, so we will review the plan as necessary and protect Kujukuri beach." I am talking.
