South Cocos Bay Shoreline Stabilization Works

Cocos Bay is located on the eastern coastline, south of the Nariva River Mouth on the Mayaro-Manzanilla Road. South Cocos Bay is within Cocos Bay, at the Nariva River Mouth. For many years the Manzanilla-Mayaro Road has been affected by flooding during high tides and sections of this roadway have been eroded due to such activity. The shoreline is also being eroded.  A shoreline protection scheme was implemented to reduce erosion and inundation.
