Abstract
Modern submarine environment at Orido-Komagoe nearshore zone off Miho Peninsula, Shizuoka, Japan, is studied on the basis of grain size analysis on sediments from this area. This study clarifies distribution pattern of bottom materials and modern sedimentary environment, and also suggests seaward transport of beach sediments. Continuous deepening of the storm wave base during last twenty years has resulted in significant changes of the bottom material in the area and is thought to be caused by intensive mass transportation of beach and shallow water sediments seaward.
