Abstract
Based on analysis of the volume change of the sediment, brought to the sea by the River Rioni, was estimated the state of the seacoast, neighboring estuary of the Black Sea. The relief of the Black Sea coast and its dynamics greatly depend on the sediment, brought by rivers. In Georgia reduction of the amount of the sediment, brought by rivers mainly is caused by an anthropogenic factor. The submarine canyons’ influence on the morphology and dynamics of the coast are also important. It was always difficult to determine the proportion of man-made and natural factors on the accumulative coasts of the River Rioni Black Sea estuary. The possibility to evaluate such processes appeared based on the analysis of the sequence of the events which took place in the River Rioni delta after 1939. Here is offered the forecast of the development of the section next to the River Rioni estuary of the Black Sea.
