Abstract
Transformations of the bottom of a section of the coastal zone of the Baltic Sea were determined
based on its corings. The measurements were performed before and after a storm. The method of determining
the transformations involved combining bathymetric plans. This way, deepening and shallowing areas of the
bottom were identified. The changes result from the return of currents on the bottom and from a lower degree
of the littoral current and direct effect of the waves.
