Figure 3.20:  Satellite image of the Outer Banks, an approximately 300 km long string of barrier islands off the coast of North Carolina, U.S. The barrier islands are separated from the mainland by a series of relatively shallow water sounds. Notice how the ends of the entire barrier chain come closer to the mainland, thus reducing the size of the backbarrier open water area.
