The Malecón is a broad street with a public walkway , protected by a seawall which stretches for approximately 5 miles along the coast of Havana Bay. It is located in Havana and runs from the mouth of Havana Harbor in Old Havana to Vedado. Construction of the Malecón began in 1901, during temporary U.S. military rule after Cuba's War of Independence.

Résumé : Sea-surface temperature images of the coastal upwelling regions off Northwest Africa show that the core of upwelling is sometimes located far from the coast. This has been documented in three regions that share a common feature, namely a wide and shallow continental shelf. This upwelling feature plays a key role in the ecology of the Canary Current System. It creates an innerfront which provides retention for biological material, e.g. fish eggs and larvae, in the highly productive nearshore environment. An analytical model has been developed based on a two dimensional extension of Ekman's solution. The linear and steady response of a homogeneous ocean forced by an upwelling-favorable wind provides a mechanism for the upwelling separation from the coast. The merging of the surface and bottom Ekman layers induces a very weak cross-shore circulation and a "kinematic barrier" for the Ekman transport divergence. In the case of an alongshore wind, the barrier is located near the isobath h ≈ 0.4D, where D is the thickness of Ekman layers. This yields an upwelling cell which is essentially concentrated in the region 0.5D < h < 1.25D, with upwelling occurring preferentially near the isobath h ≈ 0.6D. It turns out that the cross-shore width of upwelling scales with D/S, the ratio of Ekman depth to bottom topographic slope. The application of this solution to real bathymetric profiles rationalizes, not only the offshore upwelling observations in Northwest Africa, but also the influence of topography on the cross-shelf structure of a wind-driven coastal upwelling. The model also quantifies the effect of the cross-shore wind component showing how it drives the nearshore pressure gradient adjustment and how it affects the upwelling. A linear numerical experiment reproduces the theoretical steady solution, thereby allowing investigation of the transient regime. Relaxation of the hypothesis in the numerical model validates the linear assumption of the theory and then allows investigation of the sensitivity to friction parameterizations and the influence of stratification. The latter leads to an "oscillation" of the upwelling cell with seaward migration driven by outcropping and homogeneization of the water column, and, coastal incursion driven by a "boundary layers splitting" process caused by shoreward advection of the isopycnal dome and stratification of the inner shelf.

Résumé : (Ownership) Received by the Rubenstein Library as a gift from the USCG Historian's Office
From October to November 1965, Cuban citizens were permitted to leave Cuba by sea through the port of Camarioca. Approximately 3,000 left in this way and were assisted at sea by the U.S. Coast Guard. Cuba and the United States negotiated an end to the dangerous sea exodus by opening regular “Freedom Flights” for those wishing to leave. The flights continued until 1975.

On the left side of the image are yachts and various boats anchored in the lagoon off the coast of Saint George’s, Saint George, Grenada. As of 2013, the area above the hill belonged to Port Louis Marina. The buildings in the center of this image were built as barracks to house members of the Southern Defense Force, which was formed in 1944 during World War II. After the war, the barracks became the home of Grenada Boys’ Secondary School (GBSS). GBSS is Grenada’s oldest school, which officially began in 1885 at the Church Street location. Steamship (S.S.) Regina is shown anchored near the Grenada Port Authority pier in Saint George’s harbor. S.S. Regina, originally built in 1939, was acquired in 1964 by Chandris Cruises and renamed Regina. Her funnel features the Greek Chi symbol which was placed on Chandris ships to honor the founder’s Greek heritage. In the distance, atop the hill on the right, can be seen the dark stone walls of Fort George, Grenada’s oldest fort which was built by the French in 1705. Fort George continues (2013) to function as the headquarters for the Royal Grenada Police Force, which it has housed since 1854 when the Colonial Government took over control of the fort.
