Relevance. The Abrau Peninsula is a unique natural area that has attracted the interest of scientists from a wide range of research fields.

These structures are expressed not only in modern land relief and coastline outlines but also in the morphology of the seabed of the adjacent part of the shelf. The mechanism of the formation of such large-scale deformations and the
