Abstract
Numerous karst features submerged by the Late Pleistocene-Holocene transgression are found along the Eastern Adriatic (Croatian) coast. Generally, most of karstification processes cease at the base level, that is, in case of coastal karst, the sea level. However, evidence of continued karstification (corrosion) and related processes (mechanical erosion and bioerosion), as well as remarkable change in hydrogeological settings of some hydrological systems, are quite common in Croatian submarine and coastal area.

Submerged karst on the coast can be regarded as one of the major types of relict karst
Relict karst is the one which is within the contemporary system but was removed from the situation in which it had been developed. This type of karst experienced major changes in base level, and in the case of presently submarine karst, the base level refers to the absolute base, that is the sea level (FORD, WILLIAMS, 1989)

U podmorju duž cijele istočne obale Jadrana nalaze se brojni krški oblici potopljeni posljednjom gornjopleistocensko-holocenskom transgresijom. U podmorju i priobalnom dijelu istočnog Jadrana brojni su primjeri gdje se i ispod morske razine djelomično nastavilo okršavanje (korozija) i okršavanju bliski procesi (mehanička erozija i bioerozija), a poznati su i primjeri značajne promjene hidrogeoloških funkcija pojedinih priobalnih hidroloških sustava uzrokovanih izdizanjem morske razine
