Barrier Islands

Barrier Island is a elongated, shore-parallel, wave-constructed coastal landform composed predominantly of sand, distinguished from other depositional features by its position seaward of the mainland coast, its separation from the mainland by a tidal lagoon or marsh, and its dynamic response to marine and aeolian processes.
