abstracts | The paper deals with a sandy shore located on the open sea side of the Hel Peninsula in Poland
(the south Baltic Sea coast). The study site displays a cross-shore profile that intensively dissipates wave energy, mostly due to breaking. The theoretical modelling of wave transformation
at this site reveals specific distributions of wave heights and bed shear stresses. The sediment
borrow areas, presently used and identified for future exploitation, are located inconveniently
far from the periodically re-nourished shores. The paper presents the possibilities of dredging
works in the coastal zone that would not disturb the natural nearshore motion of water and
sediments. The results of the study can be helpful in formulating generic safety standards, at
least with respect to dissipative shores of non-tidal or micro-tidal seas, like the Baltic Sea. |
