Cafodd yr amddiffynfeydd môr presennol eu hadeiladu ym 1984 a gwelwyd mewn archwiliad diweddar eu bod yn dirywio ac yn dod i ddiwedd eu hoes. 

Maen nhw'n amddiffyn gwerth miliynau o bunnau o gartrefi a busnesau ar hyd yr Esplanade, gan gynnwys y Pafiliwn Mawr. Ar ôl cryfhau'r amddiffynfeydd, bydd 260 o adeiladau'n cael eu hamddiffyn rhag y perygl o lifogydd ac erydu o'r môr. 

Bydd y £2,299,146 a gyhoeddwyd heddiw yn talu am waith i wella'r amddiffynfeydd, gan gynnwys: 

* dymchwel rhan o'r amddiffynfeydd presennol
* cael gwared ar yr adeiladwaith asffalt presennol a gosod amddiffynfeydd terasog yn eu lle a'u lliwio'n lliw tywod yn unol â barn y bobl yn yr ymgynghoriad cyhoeddus.

Dywedodd Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet:


> "Rwy'n falch o gael darparu'r arian hanfodol hwn i gryfhau'r amddiffynfeydd môr ym Mhorthcawl.  Bydd yn rhoi tawelwch meddwl i'r rheini sy'n byw ac yn gweithio yno ac i'r ymwelwyr hefyd. 
> 
> "Rydyn ni wedi buddsoddi mwy o arian nag erioed yn y blynyddoedd diwethaf a thros oes y Llywodraeth hon, byddwn yn buddsoddi dros £144 miliwn  o arian cyfalaf mewn cynlluniau rheoli llifogydd ac erydu arfordirol o gwmpas Cymru."

Dywedodd y Cynghorydd Richard Young, Aelod y Cabinet dros Gymunedau: 


> "Mae'r buddsoddiad sylweddol hwn gan Lywodraeth Cymru yn newyddion rhagorol i Borthcawl a bydd yn rhoi'r modd i Gyngor Bwrdeistref Sirol Pen\-y\-bont ar Ogwr amddiffyn canol y dref a'r glan\-môr rhag llifogydd a harddu'r amddiffynfeydd môr hefyd. 
> 
> "Mae'r contract ar gyfer y gwaith wrthi'n cael ei baratoi ac rwy'n disgwyl ymlaen at fedru datgelu mwy o fanylion am y prosiect cyn hir."

The existing sea defences were constructed in 1984 and a recent inspection found the structure to be in a deteriorating condition and coming to the end of its viable life.  

The current defences protect several million pounds worth of homes and commercial properties along the Esplanade, including the Grand Pavilion. When complete, the strengthened defences will reduce the risk of flooding and erosion from the sea to 260 properties.

The £2,299,146 announced today will enable works to be carried to improve the defences, which will include:

* the partial demolition of the existing structure;
* replacement of the existing asphalt with a new terraced structure which will be surfaced  in a sand colour in line with the responses from the public consultation.

The Cabinet Secretary said:


> “I am pleased to be able to provide this vital funding to strengthen sea defences in Porthcawl, which will provide reassurance to those who live and work in, or visit this popular tourist destination.
> 
> “We have invested unprecedented levels of funding in recent years and over the lifetime of this Government we will be investing over £144million capital funding in flood and coastal erosion risk management schemes around Wales.”

Councillor Richard Young, Cabinet Member for Communities, said: 


> “This significant investment from the Welsh Assembly is excellent news for Porthcawl, and will enable Bridgend County Borough Council to continue to protect the town centre and seafront area from flooding while also offering a more visually pleasing ‘terraced’ design for the sea defences. 
> 
> “The contract for the work is currently being finalised, and I am looking forward to being able to reveal more details about the project very soon.”
