In regions with a moderate supply of clastic sediment, these environments are shaped by the balance between waves, rivers, and tides which results in the development of beaches, deltas, and tidal flats, respectively.

Environments include the shelf (dominated by storm waves and tides on its landward side and suspension deposition on its seaward side), the relatively steep continental slope (dominated by suspension deposition, slumping, and turbidite generation), the continental rise (dominated by turbidite deposition), and the abyssal plain (dominated by suspension deposition of mud, calcareous oozes, and siliceous oozes).

Seasonal changes affect beach characteristics, and human interventions like sand addition and coastal structures can complicate erosion management. Barrier islands provide storm protection but face urbanization challenges. Understanding wave energy is essential for effective coastal management and preserving shorelines.
