Abstract: A1though many attempts have been made to determine the effects of hydrologicalconditions and hydrodynamic forces on the stability of sandy coasts,it has upto now not been possible to include all possible influences in an overall theo-retical approach or numerical model/1/.one of the most difficult tasks is todetermine quantitatively the littoral drift rate due to wave and tidal motion ata given coast.There are at least some 30 semi-empirical approaches for calcu-lating the longshore sediment transport/2/,most of them,however,lack thesupport of prototype measurements.
