In this paper, an investigation of the characteristics of sea-salt particles by different types of coastal form ations (both sandy and breakwater beach areas were studied) is described. The results indicate that the density of sea-salt particles at the coast was much higer than in the open ocean. In comparing sandy versus breakwater beaches, it was found that sea-salt particle density was significantly higher at the breakwater beach. The relationship between wave height, wind speed and sea-salt generation was also examined. The results indicate that wave height plays a more important role in sea-salt generation.
