For example, the Arcachon lagoon is a tidal inlet system in South west France, which provides large sources and sinks for longshore drift sediments.
32.
These bars usually consist of accumulated gravel and sand carried by the current of longshore drift and deposited at a less turbulent part of the current.
33.
This does slow down the process of longshore drift but is used mainly as a wave break so the boats can enter the sea more easily.
34.
The inlet has evolved over the years due to natural processes, especially longshore drift . Jones Island and Fire Island at one time were connected.
35.
The peninsula is partially made from longshore drift . It is also made from glacial moraine, and is similar in makeup to nearby Fishers Island.
36.
Fire Island Inlet has evolved over the years due to natural processes, especially longshore drift . Jones Island and Fire Island at one time were connected.
37.
Morfa Harlech is one of Britain's actively growing sand dune systems due to the longshore drift which is currently eroding the dunes at Morfa Dyffryn.
38.
Longshore drift is influenced by numerous aspects of the coastal system, with processes that occur within the surf zone largely influencing the deposition and erosion of sediments.
39.
As an example, the New Brighton spit in Canterbury, New Zealand, was created by longshore drift of sediment from the Waimakariri River to the north.
40.
The impact of longshore drift sediments on this inlet system is highly influenced by the variation in the number of lagoon entrances and the location of these entrances.
