Havana beach's ecology under siege

CABAÑAS, November 5 (Moisés L. Rodríguez, Grupo Decoro / www.cubanet.org) - The ecosystem of La Herradura beach, in northeast Havana province, has been under siege for years; a victim of an invasive foreign species of plant and of sand subtraction by people who use it for construction.

The abundant casuarina or Australian pine, not a true pine, sheds leaves which react with the sand to form a muddy substance.

What sand is left is routinely extracted by people who cart it away to use it for construction.
