| Definition | Littoral cells are segments of shoreline, bounded by headlands, that constitute closed compartments in terms of sand supply. The headlands restrict transfers of onshore sediment to offshore movements within individual littoral cells. These internal exchanges are typically described in terms of contributions to or losses from the littoral cell sediment budget. Thus, erosion or accretion along any given segment of shoreline is reflected in the balance of the budget. | ||
