coastal

Examples of coastal in the following topics:

• Marine Habitats

  • Marine habitats can be divided into coastal and open ocean habitats.
  • Sandy shores, also called beaches, are coastal shorelines where sand accumulates.
  • Mudflats are coastal wetlands that form when mud is deposited by tides or rivers.
  • Mangrove swamps and salt marshes form important coastal habitats in topical and temperate areas respectively.
  • Kelp forests occur worldwide throughout temperate and polar coastal oceans.

• Edible Algae

  • Edible algae have been used as food for centuries in many coastal regions all over the world.
  • Seaweeds are edible algae that have been used for centuries as food in many coastal regions all over the world.

• Homefront Security

  • The CAP's performance was outstanding, and before the 90 day period was over, the coastal patrol operations were authorized to expand in both duration and territory.
  • Towers were built in coastal and border towns, and spotters were trained to recognize enemy aircraft.
  • At its height, The CAP operated 21 coastal bases in 13 states along the Eastern Seaboard and the Gulf of Mexico.
  • Originally, the Coastal Patrol was to be unarmed and strictly reconnaissance.
  • In May 1942, a CAP crew were flying a coastal patrol mission off Cape Canaveral when they spotted a German U-boat.

• Thermal Pollution

  • Some fish species will avoid stream segments or coastal areas adjacent to a thermal discharge.

• Interpreting the Standard Deviation

  • Thus, while these two cities may each have the same average maximum temperature, the standard deviation of the daily maximum temperature for the coastal city will be less than that of the inland city as, on any particular day, the actual maximum temperature is more likely to be farther from the average maximum temperature for the inland city than for the coastal one.
