Notes

Studies of shore lines and shore line processes have neglected the development and use of descriptive classifications and have emphasized the use of genetic classifications. Genetic classifications are theoretical, consequently they change, and perhaps become more complex as more is learned about the subject to be classified. While the genetic systems have served as useful bases for studying processes of shore development, they have, because of their many complexities and theoretical nature, made shore line description exceedingly difficult. There are several distinct classifications, each with its critics and supporters. In this B.uid situation of argument and disputed interpretation even an expert must proceed with caution in applying explanatory-descriptive terms to shores. It is the purpose of this paper to propose a preliminary descriptive classification of shores that, first, will be useful in their description, and second, will be helpful in research
