The coast is a place of constant change. Winds, waves, tides and ice are continually at work, eroding, transporting and depositing the rock, gravel, sand and mud of the shore. On the Atlantic Coast, waves are the most important environmental agent of change, while in the Bay of Fundy, tides, and the currents generated by them, are of greater significance. Sea-level rise can also contribute to morphological changes on the coast.
Organisms can influence the modifying effects of the physical forces.
