Abstract

The Crimean coasts are considered as the sum of coastal morphosystems. Their marine and overland borders have been determined. Overland borders are watersheds of rivers (1-4 orders), marine borders are in most cases30 metersisobaths. The specialties of structure and functioning of coastal systems have been detected as well as their regional differences. For instance, the area of the Western Crimea’s coastal systems much larger than South Coast’s ones. As a rule, the BMS Crimean coastal morphosystems includes part of the water area and 10-15 river basins of various ranks. Key factor in the functioning of systems is the balance of sediments.

The typification according to configuration of the coasts and degree of human influence has been made. The main specialties of human impact on coastal systems have been uncovered. The types of natural resources that have the greatest impact on their functioning have been determined. This is coasts’ defence, buildings of channels and water reservoirs and agriculture.
