Coastal sand dunes and sand beaches

Typologie des habitats de Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon

Descriptif anglais

Sand-covered shorelines of the oceans, their connected seas and associated coastal lagoons, fashioned by the action of wind or waves. They include gently sloping beaches and beach-ridges, formed by sands brought by waves, longshore drift and storm waves, as well as dunes, formed by eolian deposits, though sometimes refashioned by waves.
