The aim of this paper is to compare the usefulness of equipment employed for foredune ground surveys in different environmental conditions based on literature and field experience from the Polish coast. This article contains a description of recently used methods of coastal dunes monitoring for management and scientific purposes. It presents issues of coastal dunes mapping that are a part of long-term research conducted along the Polish coast since 1997. The employed methods and techniques are briefly described and evaluated. Subsequently, a description and assessment of these field surveys is provided. The description of techniques is focused on the aim of the research and on the types of morphological coastal forms and vegetation cover. Those full descriptions may allow the choice of a proper method for field investigation suited to the researcher’s need. The precision of measurement techniques and collected data is presented. Those data fulfill the need for geomorphologic investigation in coastal dune areas. The described experiences are based on 20 years of investigation of coastal dunes on the Polish Baltic coast, with additional data originating from other field investigations of many global coastal areas.
