Year by year, the coastal zones are constantly changing due to the action of waves, tides, and human impact. The shoreline has been particularly influenced by the human impact over the years, especially by the location of hydro-technical construction to prevent erosion or floods. Thus, the problem of coastal erosion appears as an effect of sediment transport, modifying shore morphology. In this paper, we intend to study the hydrodynamic of the Romanian Coastal zone and the wave regime alteration due to the protection systems.
