Abstract :

With regard to this fact that the very most of the worlds population have settled at thecoastal regions and their activities are typically related to the sea exploitation, coasts asone of the significant morphodynamic regions are of a special importance. Coastalregions all over the world are under a severe pressure. At least, there are five humanfactors which have produced the grounds on which destruction of coastal regionsoccur. They are as follows: population growth, pollution, destruction of theenvironment, conflicts of the benefits between the users and irregular exploitation ofresources.Some local, regional and notional actions have been taken for solving suchenvironmental difficulties and managing coastal regions sustainably in differentcountries. Most frequent and current managerial plans of coastal regions are focusedon coastal dangers such as erosion and flooding, pollution caused by land activitiesand marine transportations. Extensive exploitations in the fields of fisheries, truism,commercial transportations, etc.give these regions a double significance. Since anykind of human activities such as establishing coastal and portal construction as well asother types of exploitations like transportations, commerce and sanitation necessitatethe stability of coastal lines according to morphodynamic factors through both themovements of sea water and processes of the land environment. It is necessary tostudy geomorphology and management of integrated coastal zone comprehensively.Hence the basic and effective variables under study which should be attained for achange in the coastal line and area in clued waves, tides, coastal currents as thedynamic factors of the sea environment, wind and river processes and human landactivities (on a limited scale).Considering the natural features and geographicalsituation of the coastal region of Kong port up to Hosseinieh port, a natural operationhas been used in such a way that catchment areas have been regarded as an inseparablepart the coastal regions according to the definition of this region for management andits boundary reaches the dividing line of the catchment areas with regard to the strongnatural functional criterion between the two mentioned parts
