Pile-up on Moraira’s beaches 

NOW that autumn has set in, seaweed will be left at the water’s edge on Moraira’s beaches. 
The Posidonia Oceanica (Neptune Grass) that washes up naturally along the shoreline year round will not be removed next April when Teulada-Moraira prepares for the influx of summer visitors. 
This will affect the Portet, Ampolla and Platgetes beaches, where eliminating the seaweed inevitably removes sand at the same time, municipal sources pointed out. 
The accumulated seaweed will form a protective barrier throughout the winter, particularly during the inevitable storms when high seas and mountainous waves strip the local beaches of sand, they added.
