Submersion (coastal management)

Submersion is the sustainable cyclic portion of coastal erosion where coastal sediments move from the visible portion of a beach to the submerged nearshore region, and later return to the original visible portion of the beach.^[1] The recovery portion of the sustainable cycle of sediment behaviour is named accretion.
