Abstract
Beach erosion and accretion of the south Kujukuri coast was investigated based on the aerial photographs and field observation. The sand supply by northward longshore sand transport has been decreasing on this coast, causing erosion of the south part of the coast close to the sand source (sea cliff). In contrast, on the north end of the coastline, a long breakwater of the Katakai fishing port was extended and a large amount of sand has been deposited in the wave shelter zone. Furthermore, the ground subsidence up to 60cm occurred along the coastline due to the pumping-up of the ground water to obtain the water-soluble gas. The coastal situation of the south Kujukuri coast has devastated year by year due to all these impacts. To save the coast, full scale sand nourishment is required.
