انتهت المرحلة الأولى من مشروع «بيبلوس والبحر» الذي يهدف إلى إعادة رسم التاريخ البحري للمدينة. وقد شرحت الباحثة اللبنانيّة

مارتين فرنسيس ألوش أهميّة هذا المشروع الذي ينجز في جبيل، فكشفت أن الفريق الذي تعمل معه أجرى مسحاً طوبوغرافيّاً للساحل الأثري في جبيل من المرفأ الحالي، الذي يعود إلى حقبة القرون الوسطى، وصولاً إلى ما يعرف بزيرة ياسمين. كما أنهى الدراسة التي كانت قد بدأتها الباحثة البريطانيّة أونور فروست على الساحل من أجل إعطاء خريطة واضحة عن المنطقة الأثريّة.

ألوش أوضحت أنّ الفريق الذي يضمّها، إلى جانب ميشال حلو وإيريك غودفاليس، يعمل على إجراء مسح طوبوغرافي آخر، تحت المياه، يكون بمثابة كشف أوليّ لعمق المياه، وتحديداً حول المنطقة الصخريّة، وصولاً إلى إنجاز مسح تخطيطيّ تحت المياه لضهرة مارتين على بعد 2 كلم، على أن يصار الى إنجاز مسح طوبوغرافي بآلة السونار، بدءاً من الشاطئ. ونتيجة المسوحات التي أنجزت حتى اليوم، تبيّن، حسب ألوش، أن أعماق المنطقة الساحليّة التي درست ليست عميقة، وهي متعرّجة ولا تسمح حكماً للسفن الكبيرة، بين 20 و30 متراً التي كانت تصدّر الخشب، بالتحرّك في الخلجان الصغيرة لهذا الساحل.
وتحدّثت ألوش أيضاً عن اكتشاف نحو 8 مراسٍ قديمة من الحجر على الشاطئ وفي الخلجان القليلة العمق في هذه المنطقة. وقد وجدت في أماكن عشوائيّة، كما وجدت مراسي أخرى في البحر خلال الدراسات السابقة وهي دليل على التجارة البحريّة القديمة. وينجز الفريق في المرحلة المقبلة مسحاً شاملاً لمنطقة جبيل تحت المياه، على أن يتمّ خلالها رفع هذه المراسي.
وكان العمل على هذه المرحلة قد انطلق في آذار من العام الماضي، وقد وقّعت على المشروع المديريّة العامة للآثار لمدّة ثلاث سنوات، بالتعاون مع بلديّة جبيل وبتمويل من رجل الأعمال طلال المقدسي، علماً بأن دراسة هذه المنطقة تعود إلى عام 1998، وقد بدأتها الباحثة البريطانيّة أونور فروست، واستمرّت حتّى عام 2006 مع ألوش، قبل أن تتوقّف خلال حرب تمّوز وتستأنف عام 2009 لتعود وتتوقّف بسبب وفاة فروست.

New Waterfront bikeway creates haven for Beirut cycling enthusiasts

BEIRUT: A winding bikeway and a secluded path on Beirut’s reclaimed coastal land is proving to be a haven for bikers and pedestrians in a city where space and privacy are scarce.
In sight of the sea, groups of young people make their way down the paved bike and walking path, while just below curved concrete barriers is a pedestrian-only walkway by the water’s edge where couples can enjoy a private moment next to the sea spray and the sound of crashing waves.
On almost any evening of the week the area is bustling with bikers and walkers taking in the sea breeze and enjoying time away from the bustle of the city.
Doaa Mohammad says that, in contrast to the often chaotic streets of the city, the biking area is a peaceful escape.

“It is a very wide and very relaxing place,” says Mohammad, while walking with her boyfriend.
Supplying the majority of the wheels is Beirut by Bike, a popular bike rental store, which has expanded from a small shop targeting bikers touring the city to a major biking facility on the developing New Waterfront that extends the offerings of the Beirut Souks.
Like most of the man-made land off of the city’s coast the Beirut by Bike facility, near the BIEL convention center, is still under development.

A skateboarding facility with ramps and rails as well as a gated biking area are under construction
There may be mounds of dirt, sand and concrete blocks nearby but that doesn’t stop city residents from recognizing the area’s assets.
In a crowded city there are few outdoors public places to enjoy a private moment with a friend, and there are even fewer where you can have large amounts of space for yourself. The bike complex has begun to offer both.

“These kinds of activities in Beirut are unavailable,” says 20-year-old Mario Tabet, on a ride with a friend on a recent Tuesday afternoon.
He says while he would like to see the development of more city life, such as cafes and shops near the paths, he loves a bike-friendly area and comes at least twice a week.

“There’s much fewer people here and it’s very well supervised,” Tabet said.
Biking on a crowded night on the Ain al-Mreisseh Corniche often involves dodging the crowds of people and street sellers that take to the walkway in the evening. Many other bike rides around the city require braving traffic, like the late night rides that have become popular, or early morning starts.
But at Beirut by Bike, LL5,000 an hour rents a bike and a safe place to ride it on the expanded waterfront.

The company, which works closely with the Solidere, began as a club to promote cycling in the city more than a decade ago. It now hosts a variety of charity events and family activities including a yearly treasure hunt.

Biking areas north of the city might compete for top rides, “but in Beirut, this is the best place,” Tabet says.
