Influence of coastline orientation on sandy shoreline long-term trends. (a) Study area coastline (black line) and latitudinal distribution of long-term shoreline trends dS/dt discriminated by coastline orientation \(\theta\), (b) south-facing, (c) west-facing, (d) north-facing and (e) east-facing. In (b–e) only sectors with a cumulative shoreline length larger than 20 km were plotted, the horizontal bars indicate the ± standard deviation of individual transect (no space averaging) long-term trend, and the bubble size is proportional to the cumulative sandy shoreline length. (f–i) Corresponding latitudinally-binned distribution of long-term shoreline trends.
