coastal
Meaning
Pertaining to or situated on the coast; often used to describe geographical regions, ecosystems, or phenomena that are influenced by their proximity to the sea, encompassing both physical and cultural dimensions of coastal areas.
💡 The term "coastal" is frequently used in environmental and geographical contexts; however, it is important to distinguish it from "marine," which specifically refers to the open sea rather than the interface between land and sea.
