Abstract

A detailed morpho-sedimentological map of this bay, derived from the calibrated lidar rasterization with field data, provides new insights into the relationships between the nature and morphology of the sediment bodies and their overall distribution within this megatidal bay protected by numerous islands and rocky shoals.
