Sand deposits along this coast occur offshore in linear sand shoals (tidal ridges). Flood tidal deltas are common and associated with lagoons or bays. Coast with expansive marshes and tidal flats, but no barrier islands Ebb-tidal deltas are poorly developed along this barrier island coast. This type of coast occurs along Amero-trailing Edge shorelines. A. Mixed energy shorelines B. Any depositional coast C. Tide dominated shorelines D. Wave dominated shorelines
