Abstract
Abstract Measurement of the progradation of the shores of the Galion Bay (Martinique) was based on diachronic mapping analysis. Erodibility was surveyed on a square metre scale and extrapolated to the watersheds. The sedimentary volume, which accumulates along the coast and in the bay (under the water surface), is unknown. The results show that most sediments are released by the farmed surfaces, then drained by the runoff and the Galion river, and deposited along the coast, where the bathymetry and currentology of the bay facilitate retention of the sediment. The harmful effects of anthropogenic influence in the area are discussed.
