Strong winds, rising sea levels and rising water tables can all have a significant impact on land salinisation. Sea level rise accelerates the intrusion of seawater into the groundwater, which leads to a rise in the water table. Salt-contaminated water from wells is used for irrigation and drinking water, which has a significant impact on the living environment.
The shelterbelt is a green barrier between the winegrowing area and the sea. Considering that this is a high risk area, the coastal vineyards will be transformed into wind-proof vegetation. The main species chosen are salinity-tolerant, tall and stable plants such as Cedar, bald cypress and cheesewood, and the windbreak vegetation is a continuum of herbaceous vegetation, shrubs, small trees, large evergreen trees and deciduous trees along the streets. The Shelterbelt also serves as a coastal pedestrian corridor providing a recreational area, linking the different villages.
