Abstract

This paper deals with the coastal erosion problems around the eastern Moyang River Estuary. The changes of coastline and coastal landforms were studied by comparing old and new aerial photographs and topographic maps, as well as through repeated field observations and local measurements regarding erosion processes. From these studies, the coastline of eastern Moyang River Estuary subjects to serious coastal erosion at an average annual rate of 15 m. The dynamic change of the coastal landforms profiles shows that the erosion or deposition differs from season to season. After the landfall of Typhoon Hagupit, the coastline retreated dramatically and the topography was changed. Through the analysis of characters of costal erosion, it was concluded that the storm surge had serious implications for coastal erosion of this area, and that the condition of erosion or deposition responded to the change of seasons as well.
