- Morphodynamics of fetch-limited beaches in contrasting environmentsPublication . Freire, Paula; Ferreira, Óscar; Taborda, Rui; Oliveira, Filipa; Carrasco, Ana Rita; Silva, Ana; Vargas, Catarina; Capitão, Rui; Fortes, Conceição Juana; Braga Coli, Alexandre; Santos, JoãoSandy beaches can be found in fetch-limited environments that are protected from ocean generated waves, as estuaries, lagoons, and backbarriers, and where fetch characteristics allow local wind-generated waves to develop and maintain a beach. The morphodynamics of these low-energy beaches present a peculiar behaviour and general open-ocean models are inappropriate for their study.
