 Estuary

 Sand Bars

 Delta

 Lagoon

 Beach
 Sand bars

Reduce the energy of waves by breaking them, thereby preventing severe erosion

Estuaries

Animal species rely on estuaries for nesting and breeding

Lagoons

Contribute to the overall productivity of coastal waters by supporting a variety of habitats, including salt
marshes, seagrasses, and mangroves.

Provide essential habitat for many fish and shellfish species.

GALLE COASTAL
LANDFORMS
 Bay

 Sand Bars

 Sand Dunes
 Bay
Protect and reduce the damage caused by the waves and wind to the Coastal habitat

The land around the bays was founded to be a fertile area that led to the production of agricultural goods

provided safe anchorage for ships

Sand dunes

Provide natural coastal protection against storm surges and high waves

Preventing or reducing coastal flooding and structural damage as well as providing important Ecological
habitats

 Bay

 Lagoon

 Cliff

 Island

 Beach
 Cliffs

Helps create an important habitat for a range of specialist plants and animals and may have significant
nature conservation interest.

ISLAND

Important as coastal areas for marine biodiversity.

BEACH

Provide protection to residents living near the ocean by acting as a buffer against the high winds and
waves of powerful storms or rough seas.
 Sri Lanka is an island surrounded by ocean. So SUMMARY
numerous coastal landforms can be seen. Sri Lankan

coastal zone is playing an important role in the Social,

Environmental, Cultural, and Economic development of

the Country. The coastal belt in Sri Lanka is about 1620

Km including the shoreline of bays, Inlets, Lagoons and

Estuaries. It also helps control erosion, provide a buffer

to pollution, create wildlife habitat, and enhance natural

beauty, and for tourism

If you’ve ever been to the beach,
you’ve been on a coast.

So, it’s your responsibility to

keep that protected.
