Passeig maritim de Gava, an urban coastal dune walkway

The construction of coastal walkways in recreational areas can be a way to protect dune ecosystems mainly by reducing extensive trampling. Landscape architecture must deal with the abiotic and biotic processes of the dune system; so a multidisciplinary approach is needed. The Gava coastal walkway has been projected to achieve these goals.
