Abstract
The active tidal notches in the Makarska area, which were observed and described in historical records from the beginning of the 20th century (Andrijašević, 1910), have been reanalysed 107 years later. Detailed mapping of three locations in the wider Makarska area revealed their level of submergence, which varied between 30 and 37 ± 5 cm below the recent mean sea-level (MSL) according to location. This investigation points to the recent acceleration of relative sea-level change during the Current Warm Period (CWP) and also to the past temporary still-stand. According to data from Central Adriatic islands of Vis, Ravnik, and Biševo, this still-stand probably lasted around 500 years – during the Little Ice Age (LIA) period. However, the notch in the Dubrovnik area, which was, as stated in historical data (Suess, 1885–1908), active at the end of the 19th century, is still active today, indicating tectonic uplift of the Dubrovnik area.
