Coastline 2D: barrier island with microtidal energy

Illustration of a barrier island coast with microtidal, wave-dominated energy. The morphology shows an flood-tidal delta, recurved spit, washover fans, "wash-around", closed inlet, tidal inlets, tidal creeks, and saltmarsh

Coastline 2D: barrier island with mixed energy

Illustration of a barrier island coast with mixed (wave & tide) energy. The morphology shows an ebb-tidal delta, a drumstick barrier island, tidal inlets, tidal creeks, and saltmarsh
