This paper presents preliminary results of an undergoing geomorphic assessment of Chabahar Bay conducted as part of the Monitoring and Modeling Study of some Coastal Parts of Sistan and Baluchestan and Bushehr Provinces (MONITOR SB&B) project, initiated by the Ports and Shipping Organization. The first phase of the MONITOR SB&B project includes a number of investigations covering site visits, overflight, GIS analysis of historic airphotos and charts, hydrographic and topographic surveys, a 25-year wave hindcast, extensive field measurements and various 2DH and 3D numerical modeling of hydrodynamics and sediment transport of the Chabahar area. This paper summarizes our observations during a site visit completed in June 2006.
