The word littoral has appeared in 11 articles on NYTimes.com in the past year, including on Sept. 2 in “A California Beach Town Is Desperate to Save Its Vanishing Sand” by Jill Cowan:
Over time, beach sand gets swept out into the water. Some of it migrates toward other beaches in part of a complex phenomenon known as littoral drift.
If the shoreline were allowed to evolve and recede without human intervention, beaches could continue to exist as we know them. But in California, development in many places along the coast has created a hard barrier, stopping that natural ebb.
