Erosion Threatens Ecosystem and Oilfield in Northern Yellow River Delta.
Coastal sediment at Feiyan Beach in the Yellow River Delta responds to hydrodynamic conditions. Tidal currents can stir up sediments in certain areas, while waves can only move sediments up to a certain height. Finer sediment from the intertidal zone helps maintain the coast's balance or slow erosion. Overall, sediments are mostly carried offshore, except in tidal-creek inlets.
