These environments have sediment supplied by rivers and the sediment gets deposited just below sea level due to the rapid decrease in flow speed as rivers enter the oceans. The overall geometry and characteristics of shore lines are generally determined by several factors.

As the ebb and flow of high tides act along the shoreline, the tides will usually reach up and over the berm (maximum distance the waves can reach under normal non-stormy conditions) and deposit sedimentary grains further in along the shoreline.

It highlights residents' lack of understanding of geological processes and hazards, as well as the impacts of climate change and human modifications like seawalls that worsen erosion and limit beach access, despite protections from the California Coastal Act of 1976. The chapter emphasizes the necessity for increased awareness and improved management of these vital coastal areas.
