Did You Know? Littoral drift consists of the transport of sediments (generally sand but may also consist of coarser sediments such as gravels) along a coast at an angle to the shoreline, which is dependent on prevailing wind direction, swash and backwash. This process occurs in or within close proximity to the surf zone and is also known as longshore drift, longshore transport and LSD. -Wikipedia
