The article is the continuation of the series describing coastal defence in Poland in 1920 - 2002. It relates to the coastal defence conceptions after the war, in particular the division of tasks between the navy and army. The changes in Europe’s political and military situation after 1989 and Polish Republic’s new defence doctrine enforced taking into consideration changes in preparing and conducting the coastal defence. This resulted mostly from the fact that due to new doctrinal assumptions, the first operation for the Polish Armed Forces to carry out could only be defence on their own territory, coastal defence including. The coastal defence was to include a series of various activities and operations conducted by various services and troops aimed at not allowing the enemy forces to enter the coast. Air, maritime and land defence was differentiated. The navy tasks comprised defending Polish maritime areas, whereas the army took over the leading role in the anti-landing and anti-diversion defence of the coast. The coastal defence system included navy groupings, land forces operational grouping, lines, regions and positions of anti-landing defence, unified sub-system of all assets and forces attack, subsystem of engineering barrage in water and on the shore.
