Abstract

Obalna je zona jedan od najsloženijih i najdinamičnijih područja na Zemlji. Pod
utjecajem mora, kopna i zraka, bez prestanka se događaju različite morfološke
promjene. U najvećoj mjeri prisutne su erozija i akumulacija materijala po cijeloj
obali. Ti procesi uključuju djelovanje vjetra, valova, duž-obalnih struja, leda i
promjene morske razine na različite geomorfološke podloge pa je zbog toga i
rezultat razvoja obala različit. Za vrijeme zadnjih nekoliko stoljeća, ovi su procesi
često bili ubrzani čovjekovim djelovanjem. Danas u obalnom prostoru živi gotovo
75% svjetskog stanovništva, što je dvostruko više nego što je bilo prije 20 godina.
Zbog toga se porast razine mora danas smatra jednim od najvećih svjetskih
problema, a taj je proces velikom mjerom izazvan globalnim zagrijavanjem, kao
posljedicom ljudskog djelovanja na klimu. U radu su opisani osnovni morski
obalni procesi kao i njihovi utjecaji na morsku obalu koji su popraćeni različitim
slučajevima iz cijeloga svijeta kojim je pokazano kako oni na razne načine
ugrožavaju primarno stanje nekog područja i prirodna staništa živih bića, obalne
infrastrukture, obalna naselja, gradove, a i život ljudi na tim područjima.

Abstract (english)

Coastal zones are one of the most complex and dynamic areas on the Earth.
Under the influence of seas, land and air various morphological changes occur
continually, mostly erosion and accumulation of material along entire coastal
areas. These processes include the action of wind, waves, longshore currents,
ice and changes in sea levels on different geomorphological substrates, and
therefore the result of coastal development is different. Over the last few
centuries, these processes have often been accelerated by human action. Today,
almost 75% of the world's population live in coastal areas, which is twice as much
as it was 20 years ago. Therefore, sea level rise is now considered one of the
world's biggest problems, and this process is largely caused by global warming,
which is the result of human impact on climate. The paper describes the basic
marine coastal processes and their impact on the marine coast, which are
accompanied by various cases from around the world. They show how these
processes in various ways endanger the primary state of an area and natural
habitats of living beings, coastal infrastructure, coastal settlements, cities and
people`s lives in those areas.
