Archaeo-Tech: The Barrier Island
Barrier islands are a coastal landform, a type of dune system and sand island, where an area of sand has been formed by wave and tidal action parallel to the mainland coast. They usually occur in chains, consisting of anything from a few islands to more than a dozen. The shifting sands of the barrier island hold one of the most important ecosystems on the planet. Part of the "Archaeo-Tech" series.
