Abstract

The paper presents the assessment of the modern state of the coastline of the southern part of Kobuleti, which included the determination of the granulometry of the beach-building material, the morphological assessment and topographic survey of the coast, bathymetric study of the underwater slope. Results may be used as a background condition to evaluate changes of the seashore.
