PROBLEMS OF STUDYING AND PROTECTING SHORES

Abstract

The study of the dynamics of sea and reservoir shores becomes more and more important due to a rapid economic development of the shores. However, the achievements of science in this field have not so far been properly applied in practice. The article presents results of ignoring recommendations of scientists which resulted in a considerable waste of resources that otherwise could have been avoided. The authors suggest some ways of future research concerning such important practical problems as the dropping of waste water into the sea, an intensive development of the moraine floor, the working out of underwater placers, development of the shores of storage reservoirs of a new type in Siberia, and others.
