Gibraltar Strait Bimarian Barrier (GSBB)
On-land construction of most of the inexpensive elements of an impermeable durable “fabric” sea-dam separating the Mediterranean Sea from the North Atlantic Ocean will allow speedy installation and early finished facility first use. Despite the vast science-predicted geographical change, including c...

On-land construction of most of the inexpensive elements of an impermeable durable “fabric” sea-dam separating the Mediterranean Sea from the North Atlantic Ocean will allow speedy installation and early finished facility first use. Despite the vast science-predicted geographical change, including climate change, within the existing Mediterranean Sea Basin we anticipate subsequent built sea-dam “close enough” near-maintenance of the regional environmental status quo; consider encouragement of in-Basin smaller adaptive macroprojects as well as an efficient and sparely organized International Caretaker Council operational authority to be established before 2050-2100 AD.
