 * Term Definition **
 * Advancing coasts **Depositional coasts that are growing as a consequence of sediment deposit and/or the infill of coastal marshes. Advancing coasts may also arise from a negative change in sea level (sea level fall or uplift of land).


 * Exclusive economic zone (EEZ) **An area in which a coastal nation has sovereign rights over all the economic resources of the sea, seabed and subsoil, extending up to 200 nautical miles from the coast.


 * Littoral drift **The movement of sediment along a coast by wave action; also called longshore drift.


 * Oceanic conveyor belts **A global thermohaline circulation, driven by the formation and sinking of deep water and responsible for the large flow of upper ocean water.


 * Retreating coasts **Coasts along which the dominant processes are erosional, resulting in the coastline moving inland. Retreating coasts may also be caused by a positive change in sea level (sea level rise or a fall in land level).
