Abstract
Coastal protection problems along the Bulgarian Black Sea coast are related to present-day geodynamic processes as well as, in the majority of the cases, to anthropogenic (technogenic) factors (Fig. 1). The changes of the shore by earthquakes, landslides, cave-ins, sea abrasion with its transportation and deposition, erosion, and bottom subsidence by both static and dynamic processes, result from the complex interaction of the main geohistorical factors--tectonic, eustatic fluctuations of the sea level, and sea, hydro-, and lithodynamics. At present, the interference of the technogenic factor should also be added to those already mentioned. Theoretically, coastal problems should refer to both above-water and underwater, i.e., they both should be integrated into the problems of the coastal zone (Nikolov, Simeonova, and Marinov 1982).
