Description

Abstract: The present study is a basic part of developing a joint GIS-based coastline typology to determine various geomorphic types of landforms (natural/
anthropogenic) along the Western Black Sea coast. The main purpose is to develop a web geomorphic classification for this part of the Black Sea
coast, covering both Bulgaria and Romania. The research is focused on inventory the multipurpose maritime hydraulic constructions (harbour and coastprotection
types) built along the Bulgarian-Romanian coast and to point out on their functions and effects. Setting-up of a common catalogue to all types
of maritime structures for the Bulgarian-Romanian part of the Western Black Sea coast will help the establishment of unified technical terminology. The
results are an important step to create a common classification criteria based on geomorphologic and engineering research approaches for identifying
natural landforms and technogenous objects along the both coastlines.
