This environment is characterized by low wave energy and relatively strong tidal currents. The nourished sand is significantly coarser than the native sediment. Nevertheless, the grains remain mobile and the beach displays a range of dynamic morphological features, including sandbars and runnels, which have been observed to form, migrate, and disappear over timescales of days to weeks.

    Cover caption: Drone photo of a creek pattern on the dry tidal flats of the muddy coast of Suriname close to 'Weg naar Zee', north of Paramaribo. The coastal zone of the Guianas is characterized by high dynamics caused by migrating mudbanks. It shows variable coastline responses, mangrove colonization over the tidal flats or losses and erosion of mangroves at timescales of decades. Credit: Steven M. de Jong
