	Barrier Island
		Barrier islands are long, narrow, offshore deposits of sand or sediments that parallel the coast line.
		Barrier islands are often found in chains along the coast line and are separated from each other by narrow tidal inlets, such as the Outer Banks of NC.
		Like the barrier flats, salt marshes are regularly flooded with seawater during high tide and the animals and plants that you find are similar to those in the barrier flats.
