T wo of the most important features along the coastlines of opening oceans are wetlands and barrier islands The barrier islands are sand islands that were created following the last Ice Age as water was removed from the oceans to create the icecaps that covered most of the Northern Hemisphere As sea level dropped the shoreline retreated spreading a layer of sand over the surface of the continental shelf When the ice melted rising sea level produced an advancing shoreline that transgressed the previously deposited layer of sand Waves particularly during storms heaped the sand into ridges that eventually built above sea level creating barrier islands Initially barrier islands were separated from the land by a lagoon Over time the lagoon eventually filled with sediment derived from the land and sand brought in through tidal inlets As the lagoons infilled wetlands were created and eventually occupied by the bottom units of the marine food web Barrier islands are temporary constructs constantly moving landward.

T. wo of the most important features along the coastlines of opening oceans are wetlands and barrier islands. The barrier islands are sand islands that were created following the last Ice Age as water was removed from the oceans to create the icecaps that covered most of the Northern Hemisphere. As sea level dropped the shoreline retreated spreading a layer of sand over the surface of the continental shelf. When the ice melted rising sea level produced an advancing shoreline that transgressed the previously deposited layer of sand. Waves, particularly during storms, heaped the sand into ridges that eventually built above sea level creating barrier islands. Initially, barrier islands were separated from the land by a lagoon. Over time, the lagoon eventually filled with sediment derived from the land and sand brought in through tidal inlets. As the lagoons in-filled, wetlands were created and eventually occupied by the bottom units of the marine food web. Barrier islands are temporary constructs constantly moving landward.. Bistatic.
