Evaluating the Displaced Topography
The modern Praça do Mar plaza stands squarely upon thirty-three thousand square meters of contested artificial land. Cataclysmic flash floods struck on February twenty, twenty ten. Coastal authorities collected approximately three hundred forty thousand cubic meters of displaced mountain rubble. They used this massive volume. They executed the Frente Mar project. They reclaimed six hectares directly from the deep Atlantic waters. This engineered basalt platform now buries the old defensive seawall. It buries the submerged stone ramparts completely.
