The Azov-Black Sea Coast of Russia?An Experience of Artificial Beach Formation
There is a tendency in modern cost protective engineering to expand the scales of artificial beach formation. The first sandy beach was filled in 1971 in Gelendzhik Bay. In 1982 wide scale...

Specific Features of the North-Eastern Black Sea Shelf Stucture
The results of field geological-lithodynamic and geomorphological studies and the review of published data have been used to analyze the structure of the North-Eastern Black Sea coastal...

Coast Dynamics and Coast-Protective Measures on the Crimean Black Sea Coast
The main data on hydro- and lithodynamics of the Crimean Black Sea coast are presented. The principal coast-protecting measures are described as used on various coast sections. The construction...

South Coast of the Crimea: Environmental Specificity and Coast Protection Problems
Climate conditions and geological structure of the Crimean South coast are described in this paper. Morphometrical data on submerged coast slope are given. Today, out of 100 km of the...

The Specific Features of Modern Dynamics and Coast Structure of the Black Sea Within Romania
The Romanian Black Sea coasts are studied inadequately in comparison with Ukrainian, Russian, Georgian, and Bulgarian coasts. Abundant data have been collected in the Danube delta. The...

Wave Climate Studies Along the Turkish Coast of the Black Sea
Wind-generated waves produce the most powerful forces to which coastal structures are subjected. Therefore, wave information is required for the proper planning and reliable design of...

Bulgarian Coastal Management
This paper responds to the call of the 1992 United Nations Conference on Environment and Development for sustainable and economically-sound development and use of the world's natural resources....

Detached Breakwaters for Beach Protection
This paper investigates detached breakwaters for beach protection. The equilibrium beach profile, onshore-offshore transport, and longshore sediment transport are also discussed. The Nile...

Wave Diffraction Patterns Behind Detached Breakwaters
This paper presents a theoretical model to examine the wave diffraction behind detached breakwaters subjected to regular oblique waves. The method of solution is an eigenfunction expansion...

Morphological Trends of the Belgian Coast Shown by 10 Years of Remote-Sensing Based Surveying
The morphological evolution of foreshore, backshore, and adjoining dunes of the entire Belgian coast is surveyed by means of aerial remote sensing on a yearly basis since 1983. The evolution...

Design and Execution of Beach Nourishments in Belgium
When a severe coastal erosion problem has to be solved, two kinds of remedial coastal protection works are usually taken in view; the first one most often used in the past, requires the...

Coastal Erosion Management of Sandy Beaches in Denmark
The Danish North Sea coast is a very exposed coast and has therefore suffered from severe erosion problems during centuries. Since 1982, coastal protection has been carried out in an increasing...

Anthropogenic Activities Affecting Sediment Load Balance Along the West African Coastline
The west African coastline stretches from Senegal in the west-to Cameroon in the east. This coastline had naturally over time received most of its sediments through the numerous rivers...

Implications of Environmental Dynamics for Sustainable Environment and Resources Management Futures in the Niger Delta
The paper examines the implications of environmental dynamics for environmental sustainability and resources management futures. The paper first discusses the concept and characteristics...

Sea-Level Rise in Senegal: Impacts and Responses
The potential impacts and responses of sea-level rise on the coastline of Senegal are analyzed with an emphasis on regional distribution. Impacts include loss of land and the economic...

Patos Lagoon
Patos Lagoon is one of South America's most important lagoonal environments. There is a complex of basins, controlled by the coastal lagoons Mirim and Patos, whose salinity regime is influenced...

Coastal Planning in British Columbia: Problems and Solutions
British Columbia is the most western Canadian province encompassing 27,000 km of deeply incised coastline and myriad islands and waterways. The mix of varied and often conflicting uses...

A Wave-Energy Dissipation Structure for Shore Protection and Beach Generation, Recovery, and Stabilization
WAVEBLOCK a steel reinforced concrete modularized structure designed to dissipate the energy of saline and freshwater waves is described. The modularized structure, which weighs upwards...

Shore Protection Design?A Necessary Evil
Since much shore protection exists and further shore protection will be considered necessary in the future, this paper addresses the need for better design methods to replace the present...

Study on Littoral Protection by Sand-Filled Tube
This study focuses on a new, excellent construction method which excels in both the environmental and scenic aspects. It enables the construction of coastal structures such as jetty, detached...
