Influence of the Underwater Structures upon the Sediment Transport in the Coastal Zone

Significantly deepened coastal structures regarded as wave breakers can influence both on the wave and sediment transport parameters in the coastal zone. The wave breakers applied at present are placed not deep and this factor negatively influences navigation and water exchange between the coastline zone and the open sea. Optimal location of the underwater structure permits to arrive at a solution of the beach erosion problem with the purpose of preserving aesthetic attraction of the coast. Due
