Abstract
This article presents some preliminary results of the sedimentary dynamics measured during 5 months in Barcelona city beaches (NW Mediterranean). Wave storms, resuspension events and near-bottom sediment fluxes are analyzed in order to characterize the sedimentary behavior of highly-protected beaches.
