| Definitionskos:definition | Types of BARRIERS that tend to form on irregular coasts where relatively high rates of longshore sediment supply promote spit building across embayments and effectively straighten the coast, or in the case of flying spits where the shoreline is protected and BARRIER SPITS extend into deep water. Subtypes (BGU-sT) include flying spits, continuation, constrained bay-mouth and cuspate foreland spits (modified from Davis Jr and FitzGerald, 2009). |
