ИСТИНА

The Anapa sand bar at the Black Sea coastal zone is now one of not numerous sand beaches in Russia. Sand bar includes three main belts: beach belt, dune belt and hillock sands. Dune belt and hillock sands suffer from a strong anthropogenic impact, landscape-morphological structure of dune belt is disturbed, so monitoring of the sand bar is essential . For this purpose we had compiled a series of maps of landscapemorphological structure for three test sites at Blagoveschensk part of sand bar using high-resolution images from WorldView-2 satellite. Interpretation of stereo-pairs of multitemporal images was carried out in scale 1:2000, a series of maps was compiled in scale 1:5000. Three regions covered by these maps are characterized with different coastal conditions. At the first one sand bar throws to cliff, at the second it goes away from cliff, and at the third sand bar borders near-liman lowland. It caused different degree of sand dunes belt development , shown at maps . Test sites are also characterized with various degree of anthropogenic influence. It depends on solutions of people’s restoration organization, it may be construction of special bridge-ways to the sea or free admission to beach through dunes. The maps will help to investigate adaptive solutions for Anapa sand bar conservation and defence.
