Abstract (en)

This paper analyses the shoreline and beach width changes over the time span 2012 04 05 to 2013 06 01 in Palanga recreational area. Analysis of the shoreline positions represented a tendency of the beach development in one year after beach nourishment. The initial measurements were made before beach nourishment in spring 2012, consecutive measurements were carried out once per month. Statistical approach for classification of the coast into dynamic sectors was integrated. According to calculations the shoreline moved inland by 15.2m in erosive sectors of Palanga beach, (total loss of the sediment at these sectors were 130m3). While 44m3 of sand were stored in the accumulative sectors where the shoreline moved by 16.1 m seaward.
