Morpholithodynamic properties of the shore zone on the Coast of Szczecin

The paper deals with the southern part of the Baltic Sea shore zone, calIed the Coast of Szczecin, from the morpholithodynamical point of view. The coastal zone is divided into three types, namely coast, shore and nearshore. The morphodynamic character of the shore is presented in distinguished cliff and sandbar-dune areas. Further, lithological properties of the shore zone sediments are discussed. FinalIy an attempt of both qualitative and quantitative estimation of sediment supply to the nearshore zone is described, as are the natural conditions affecting its further transportation.
