“…According to Rodríguez-Ramírez et al [26], the Piedras River flowed into the Gulf of Cadiz during the last glacial period, carving deep valleys in the current continental shelf. During the subsequent sea level rise, an estuary formed, reaching its maximum extension during the most significant regression of estuarine littoral bars around ca.…”

“…Furthermore, the marshland feature vegetation adapted to saline environments [26], such as maritime esparto grass meadows, sea purslane, sea lavender, limonium, and sea heath. In the dunes of the littoral bar, the vegetation is typical of non-consolidated sandy soils, with sea daffodil, rush, sea thistle, and sea lily.…”

Global warming is an essential factor to consider when studying tidal wetlands. The Río Piedras and Flecha de El Rompido salt marsh is one of the main wetlands in Andalusia, Spain. From the mid-1950s to the present day, Land Use Changes (LUCs) have caused significant alterations to the landscape. These changes, along with the effects of climatic variables and human activity, have led to an unprecedented impact on the environment. In this study, a patented method is used to obtain the total cubic meters of eroded soil and the average erosion prediction between 2015 and 2021 in the marshland area. Additionally, the various factors contributing to this phenomenon and the influence of intertidal processes are discussed. The results demonstrate how the enhanced integration of LIDAR technologies, digital elevation models, and Geographic Information Systems (GIS), in conjunction with regression models, has proven highly useful in describing, analyzing, and predicting the volumetric change process in the study area. In conclusion, the methodology used is helpful for any type of coastal marshes influenced by tidal processes and climate change.

“…Although scant, this evidence of marine flooding sometime in the sixth century BC in the geoarchaeological record of Huelva and Lagos could be related to the erosive event and sedimentary deposits documented in the estuaries of the rivers Quarteira, Tinto-Odiel, Guadalquivir, and Guadalete, refining its chronology and pointing to its possible tsunamigenic character (Álvarez-Martí-Aguilar 2019, 2023aCelestino and López-Ruiz 2020 ;Gracia, Alonso, and Aparicio 2022 ;Rodríguez-Ramírez et al 2022).…”

Battles beneath the Sea: Phoenician Votive Offerings as a Possible Religious Response to Extreme Marine Events in the Gulf of Cadiz

This article reviews the possible cause for the underwater deposition of a series of Phoenician bronze figurines dated between the eighth and seventh centuries BC and discovered on the southwestern coast of the Iberian Peninsula, around the Islet of Sancti Petri (Cadiz) and on the coast near the city of Huelva. These figurines have been interpreted as votive offerings thrown into the waters near the ports of Cadiz and Huelva by Phoenician seafarers and merchants at the end of their voyages as an expression of gratitude to the god Melqart. Instead, I propose that these objects may have been thrown into the waters as part of religious rituals intended to appease the waters of the ocean following the occurrence of catastrophic marine floods, such as those that apparently affected the seaboard of the Gulf of Cadiz in the middle of the first millennium BC.
