BEACHED WRECKS

The beached wrecks are sometimes exceptionally preserved thanks to the fast covering process and the “trap
effect”
; nevertheless, their minimum depth and frequency along the coats present severe issues for the investigation, exposition, and fruition, due to the constant and devastating wave motion that affects wooden and organic remains, if not embedded in an anaerobic environment. Furthermore, their value of geomorphological indicators for the relative variations of the sea level and the coastal profile is noteworthy, as they are essential markers of the ancient shoreline.
