title: Coastal dynamics of the Gulf of Kalamita (Western Crimea)
abstract: Abstract The performed research showed that since the first third of the 20th century until today the beach width at various sections of the Gulf of Kalamita has decreased two-to fourfold, and at some of them beaches have totally disappeared. The average coast erosion rate for the last 100 years has been 1.3 m/yr, with the maximum being 7.8 m/yr. These processes are accompanied with depletion of debris on the beach and underwater slope, erosion of bench deposits, and destruction of coastal struc
