coastal processes

Coastal Processes of the Whatcom County Mainland (dnr.wa.gov) Numerous natural erosional and depositional processes operate upon shorelines to create a diversity of coastal landforms. Waves are among the most important causes of this diversity as they remove, build, and shape beaches and sea cliffs.

At the northern most reach of Whatcom County’s shoreline is a spit approximately 2000 meters long trending northeasterly from the north side of Birch Point (fig.2.). The spit separates Drayton Harbor from Semiahmoo Bay and provides some protection for small boats and shoreline developments within the bay.
