Figure 2.22. 1:250,000 scale map of the Fly River delta in Papua New Guinea. The islands that are aligned perpendicular to the coastline are the result of tidal currents reworking sediment delivered to the area by the Fly River. The spring tidal range at the mouth of the Fly River is as much as 5 m.
