2007 m. Nr. 1 Near-shore evolution model for Palanga area:
feasibility study of beach erosion management
The problem of coastal erosion is becoming increasingly visible at the southeastern
coast of the Baltic Sea. Its fine, sandy beaches were heavily affected by storms at the end of the 20th century, and recovery processes are hardly noticeable. Especially it is valid for the continental part of the Lithuanian coast where Palanga, the most important summer resort place of Lithuania, is located. The possibilities of Palanga beach erosion management are considered in this feasibility study. A near-shore evolution model for the Palanga area has been developed using the GENESIS modelling system. Various erosion management scenarios are analysed, erosion mitigation measures are proposed and recommendations for further studies are given. The most proper solution is construction of submerged breakwaters behind the Palanga bridge to mitigate erosion and increase beach width. Keywords: beach erosion management, near-shore evolution, sediment transport, modelling, GENESIS, the Baltic Sea coast |
