Likewise, filling and compacting tasks will be carried out on the back of the breakwater with selected material; paving of the terrace based on large format slabs; installation of security fencing, banks, litter bins and signage; as well as planting and landscaping with native trees and shrubs (ash, myrtle and water lilies, among others).
