POLISH COASTAL ZONE EROSION IN THE ASPECT OF NEED FOR COASTAL DEFENCE
Journal Title: Biuletyn Instytutu Morskiego - Year 1999, Vol 26, Issue 2
Abstract
The balance of changes of tlze position of tlze coastline and of land area changes, made for the period 1875-1979, and of changes of the waterline and dune/cliff foot line for the period 1960-1983, has shown that in the last decades erosional processes are steadily increasing. At present 22% ( 110 km) of the Polish coastline is protected by structures. The growing rates of erosion, and the widening reach of damages, indicate that coastal protection works should be intensified and/or the hitherto used method should be verified.
