The zone at the edge of a lake or ocean which is periodically exposed to the air and periodically immersed.
Shallow waters along a lakeshore where rooted vegetation often grows.
The area of shallow fresh water in which light penetrates to the bottom and nurtures rooted plants (Morris 1992).
The zone along a coastline that is between the high and low-water spring tide marks.
In coastal engineering, the area from the shoreline to just beyond the breaker zone. In biological oceanography, it is that part of the benthic division extending from the high water line out to a depth of about 200 meters. The littoral system is divided into a eulittoral and sublittoral zone, separated at a depth of about 50 meters. Also, frequently used interchangeably with intertidal zone.
The shore area along a body of water, usually a lake, down to the depth of 10 meters.
refers particularly to the area of the sea floor lying between the levels of low and high tide
the area between the high- and low-water marks on the seashore.
The intertidal area, also known as the splash zone.
portion of a water body extending from the shoreline lakeward to the greatest depth occupied by rooted plants.
the region of the shore of a lake or sea or ocean
The biogeographic zone in a body of fresh water where light penetration is sufficient for the growth of plants; the intertidal zone of the seashore.
The environment along the shoreline of an ocean.
the region of freshwater lake beds from the sublittoral zone up to and including damp areas on shore.
The near shore shallow water zone of a lake, where light reaches the bottom; where aquatic plants grow. Go Back
The interface region between the land of the draining basin and the open water of lakes.
The region of land bordering a body of water.
1. That portion of a body of fresh water extending from the shoreline lakeward to the limit of occupancy of rooted plants. 2. The strip of land along the shoreline between the high and low water levels.
The shoreward region of a body of water.
The area between the low tide water mark and the high tide water mark.
An area between high and low tide.
a coastal region; the shore zone between high and low watermarks
The portion of a lake where the bottom is within the euphoric zone and which supports rooted macrophyte growth. Sufficient light for photosynthesis reaches the bottom sediments in the littoral zone. [Lat. littus, shore.
An indefinite zone extending seaward from the shoreline to just beyond the breaker zone
The area on, or near the shore of a body water.
shore region of lake. peripheral shallows of lake.
Area of shore between mean high water and mean low water.
water in a lake or reservoir that is closest to the shore
The shallow zone along the shoreline of a body of water, containing rooted plants that provide important habitat for other aquatic species.
the shallow area at or near the shore of a water body that has attached or rooted plants
The coastal zone from the upper limits of tidal action down to the depths where the water is thoroughly stirred by wave action.
