BOCANEGRA GARCIA, Carlos A.; VENEROS URBINA, Bilmia  and  CULQUICHICON MALPICA, Zoila. Environmental Impacts on the Littoral Coastal Strip by Anthropic Action in the City of Trujillo, Perú. Enfoque UTE [online]. 2021, vol.12, n.1, pp.59-73. ISSN 1390-6542.  https://doi.org/10.29019/enfoqueute.655.

The present research describes and analyzes the impacts of the anthropic transformation of the coastal strip of the city of Trujillo, due to the systematic construction and expansion of a rigid structure called sand retaining mill in the port of Salaverry. It is described and analyzed the impacts of the anthropic transformation of the strip and its consequences due to the construction of the retention molon. Satellite images, photographs and hydrographic charts were used for the respective analysis seeking to raise awareness and encourage scientists, authorities and citizens in general to conserve the coast and save it. The main impacts are referred to the modification of the coast line, adding the destruction of beaches and the alteration of ecosystems. Erosion as a phenomenon has been affecting many coastal areas, but in this one in particular the problem has increased and seems not to stop even knowing all the aspects and climatic impacts that this may generate, destabilizing natural habitats and changing the behavior of the tides by directing them to unforeseen areas. With the problem posed.

Keywords : Impacts; anthropic; coastal strip; erosion; ecosystems.
