Abstract

Comparison of the field data and published materials has shown that the Anapa bay-bar structure has not changed essentially, three zones are still traced: the beach, the zone of dunes and the zone of hilly sands. As a result of water line recession (at a rate up to 1.2 m per year) the reduction of total width of the beach and dune belt occurred. This reduction happened basically due to the destruction of dune belt, the width of the beach has remained practically constant. Considering the reduction of total amount of the sediments composing the beach and the dunes zone, Anapa bay-bar on the whole may be considered to be a degrading accumulative landform at present.
