Hypsometric and bathymetric measurements of the Polish coastal zone, which were carried out since the early 50 ties of the last century, provided a very large amount of empirical material. Standardisation of profile recordings in the Coastal·Zone Databank provided a basis for the determination of the multi-temporal changes of the coast. Comparative analysis of coastal zone profiles is of basic importance in planning coastal protection and in designing coastal defence methods. For this aim morphological elements of the shore (beach and dune) and the nearshore (from waterline seawards) zones were separated, and measurements were made on profiles drawn in identical scale. In the present paper, methods of separating morphological elements and the scope of morphometric measurements on cross-shore profiles are presented. The next parts shall discuss: the methods of analysing morphometric parameters (part II), the methods of determining the erosion/accretion systems (part III), and the use of morphometric analysis in the protection of selected regions of the Polish coast (part IV).
