The project begins to be executed this November and will have more than 300 berths and services for superyachts, with the aim of positioning Fuerteventura in nautical tourism. The Marina Jandia project is designed to be a marina “one hundred percent autonomous from the energy point of view”, being supplied by renewable sources. The CEO of Calero Marinas, José Juan Calero, said that Marina Jandía “means opening an incredible destination for nautical tourism in the Canary Islands”. In the execution of Marina Jandía, the paradigm called ‘working with nature’ will be followed, “which consists of involving the environment as another partner”.
In the execution of the maritime infrastructure of Marina Jandía, the paradigm called ‘working with nature’ will be followed, “which consists of involving the environment as another partner, from the beginning of the process”. In the conception of the marina, Calero Marinas has counted on Carlos Acosta, maritime works designer, and has opted for a series of technical solutions that are in line with the Canary Islands Circular Economy Strategy.
Thus, in the first place, it advocates “minimizing the use of natural resources, reducing extraction” and, secondly, reducing the generation of waste and the reuse of those that are generated. “The conception of the Marina Jandía maritime project has been based from the beginning on these axes,” Acosta explained. Therefore, “the resources present in the current dock” will be reused, reducing to “an almost testimonial amount” the necessary materials and avoiding the generation of construction waste.
As there are “breakwater slopes that need to be removed, we have opted for a vertical breakwater wall solution, recovering and reusing all the breakwater that is removed,” which “has the added benefit of being perfectly integrated into the geomorphology of Morro Jable,” Acosta explained. In addition, there are currently a large number of concrete cubes in the breakwater with no structural use, which will be reused as an outer facing in the area where the Marina Jandía captaincy building will be located, which in turn will be filled with material from the dredging of the dock itself. “With this design, it is avoided to manufacture concrete for this purpose”, explained the person in charge of the maritime works, who added that the material dredged from the dock will be reused for the necessary fillings in the esplanade and, in particular, the sedimentary material “will be revalued to regenerate the surrounding beaches”.
