Abstract
The methods and results of the investigation of seashore dynamics in the area of the Anapa bay-bar derived from the analysis of historical and recent materials obtained by satellite imaging and aerial survey are discussed. It is shown that the shore of the Anapa bay-bar includes several areas of erosion marked by the retreat of the water edge, exceeding 70 m over 50 years, and a relatively stable area in its central part. In addition, the analysis of short-period dynamics of the migration of the water edge revealed that short-term (until next storm) displacement of the water edge relative to its mean position can be as large as 30 m. These data highlight and specify the dynamics of the Anata bay-bar shoreline, which is of importance for understanding the lithodynamic processes in the coastal zone and predicting the future evolution of the geosystem of the bay-bar.
