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 structures. This is due to deficiency of beach-forming material resulted from intense economic management in the coastal area. Implementation of scientifically and technically sound coastal protection projects is essential to preserve the beaches of the Gulf of Kalamita.
