Discover the importance of these ecosystems through three (3) modules designed for students and the general public.  
Each module offers a unique experience, from visual simulations to interactive demonstrations. Click on the Buttons to enter the world of coasts and understand their fundamental role in our environment, and in Puerto Rico.  


​​Get ready to explore and learn with the secrets of the coasts!

​MODULE 1
CONSEQUENCES OF COASTAL CONSTRUCTIONS
Explore the impacts of construction in coastal areas, from the behavior of the waves that reach the shore, to the erosion present during times of storms.
Here the relationship between structures and coastal dynamics in storm conditions and under normal conditions will be visualized.

MODULE 2
​TYPE OF WAVES AND COASTAL MORPHOLOGY
Learn about different types of waves and coastal morphology. From the parts of a wave and identifying different types of waves, to coastal areas and what they entail, this module will take you on a journey through the forces that shape our shorelines.

MÓDULO 3 ​
​NATURAL COASTAL BARRIERS
Discover the crucial importance of natural coastal barriers such as dunes, mangroves, reefs and sea grass.
​Observe different swells and how these natural structures dissipate wave energy, protecting our coastlines and communities.
