Renovation of the Port Fòrum breakwater and harbour mouth
The Port Fòrum was opened in 2003. Since its opening, it has had internal agitation and overtopping issues that have created problems of comfort and safety for the vessels moored in its inner harbour. Furthermore, different structural pathologies affecting the walls of the breakwater have been detected.
As a nautical facility, Port Fòrum currently has 201 operational moorings, a figure that, according to some studies, is too small to provide an attractive range of services and activities. As a result, complementary activities on land are still very limited and those that have been introduced are, in many cases, not directly linked to nautical activities. Furthermore, the isolation of the Port Fòrum from the urban fabric hinders the continuity of the public space and its internal mobility is poorly organised. This project, therefore, aims to promote and monitor all the actions necessary to improve the Port Fòrum, some of which have already begun or are planned under other projects of the Coastal Plan.
