coastal currents  

Definition

  • Information Coastal currents are coherent water masses in motion that are found in the region between the coastline and the edge of the continental shelf. Coastal currents are important because the coastal zone is the place where most nutrients, pollutants, and sediments are introduced into the ocean, and where most larvae are generated and dispersed.
