Wieprza River Delta Dunes Between Bukowo, Jamno Lakes barriers' and Kopań, Wicko Lakes barriers' low lying coastal area
with Wieprza river delta [1] and coastal dunes is localised. On the banks of the river outlet
is localised village Darłówko and 3 km in south direction town Darłowo (with old castle). The
outlet of the Wieprza and small harbour is protected by waterbreakers [2]. They are causing
separation of natural transportation of material along shore. In relation to this coast on the East
bank of river is under erosion and the West one show tendency to accumulation. Eroded part of coast
in Darłówek is protected by heavy concrete band with tetrapods and waterbreakers made of big rocks
[3a], where houses are just close to the sea and by tetrapods' band localised on abraded slope of
foredune [3b]. Tetrapods are covering foredune on distance of about 3 km of the coast in East
direction. They have their end at altitude of windmills [6]. They are builded on higher area of end
clay moraine; in front of it there is still sandy dune area. Further is beginning of the Lake Kopań
[5] barrier [4]. The exposition of the coastline on the barrier is causing fast erosion of the dunes
and retreating of the coast. In the narrowest place barrier is only 50m wide (measures: 06.2004).
