| Summary |
As a result of in situ observations during the flood and storm periods in 1975-1976 years it was proved, that beach deformation in this area is mainly caused by lack of material delivered with rv. Bzibi and not because of influence of Bichvinta submarine canyon (except of so called Akula canyon, which, as it is estimated swallow 400.000 c.m. of sediment masses during the last 25 years). |
