Coastal erosion in french Guiana Modem shoreline changes in French Guiana are very active, linked to the Amazon Dispersal System : approximately 250 million m3 of fine grained sediments are transported annually by the currents and the waves along the Guianas coastline. As the result, a specific sedimentation pattern with alternating sectors of deposition (mudbanks and mudflats, with coastal progradation) and erosion (interbank zones, with erosion of the mangrove forest and of the siliclastic shorelines) characterizes the foreshore/shoreface area. Mudbanks and mudflats migrate slowly to the NW. On account of this dynamic, shoreline is continually changing. Our paper focused on modem coastal erosion within some interbank areas representing s...
