| Notes | Coastal barriers are landforms that protect mainlands and aquatic habitats against the worst effects of coastal storms. Coastal barriers include estuaries, inlets, marshes, wetlands and nearshore waters and can include islands, sandspits, sandbars and broad beaches. The protective value of these landforms can be degraded by development. In 1994, a proposal was made to expand the Coastal Barrier Resources System to include the West Coast of the United States. These maps were drafted to show areas that should be protected. The proposed expansion, however, did not take place. Nevertheless, the maps have value in showing what should not be developed. |
