Distribution of Morphological Cells in the Southern Littoral of Sicily (Italy)

A geomorphologic approach, combined with GIS spatial analysis, was used to investigate a 90 Km long coastal sector in Southern Sicily, Italy. Applied methodology allowed the determination of coastal erosion/accretion areas, general sediment circulation patterns and littoral cell distribution. The investigated littoral is recording important coastal erosion problems, mainly linked to the construction of ports and harbours. Such structures, as well as natural headlands, divide the littoral in morphological cells. Most important artificial limits are observed in correspondence with the ports and harbours of Scoglitti, Punta Secca, Donnalucata and Pozzallo and a haulage zone at Marina di Ragusa. Scoglitti, Punta Secca, Marina di Ragusa and Donnalucata structures work as „transit“ limits which generate accretion on the west side parts and erosion on the east side parts. Pozzallo port works as a „convergent” limit because it records accretion at both sides. Most important natural structures are observed at Punta Zafaglione, P.

Spatial approach to medium-term coastal evolution in south Sicily (Italy): implications for coastal erosion management. Journal of Coastal Research, 24(1), 33–42. West Palm Beach (Florida), ISSN 0749-0208. Four sets of maps and aerial photographs have been integrated into a Geographic Information System (GIS) project to investigate coastal changes along a 60-km-long littoral sector in south Sicily, Italy. The beaches studied recorded significant morphological changes essentially related to the presence of human structures that interrupted littoral drift. Most of the investigated beaches experienced progressive erosion because of sediments being trapped by human structures resulting in the formation of wide beaches on the updrift side and erosion downdrift. The latter has often been counteracted by the construction of breakwaters. However, local planning authorities did not carry out an as- sessment of the impacts related to the construction of harbours and ports and their successive enlargement. This article proposes alternative actions concerning the possible future erosion management of the studied littoral.
