Abstract

The principles of seashores mapping are worked out and classifi cation of coastal types is carried out. A Map of the Crimean coastal types is compiled, in the scale of 1:500000. While compiling the map, the coast length of each type was measured and their spatial relations were described. The results show that for the Crimea on the whole the most characteristic coasts are the erosion ones (25%), to a slightly lesser extent – erosion-accretion (18%) and lagoon (15.7%) coasts. However, each part of the Crimea coasts due to its geological and geographical features, has a specifi c “set” of shore types: the western coast is dominated by accretion shores (beach and lagoon ones – 40.7%), on the south coast – erosion-landslide shores (27.8%), on the east coast – typical erosion shores (45.7%), and on the Sivash coast –accretion-erosion (40%) shores and mud fl ats (23%) are predominated.
