“…freshwater swamps, estuaries, tidal inlets, and salt marshes (Weems, Lewis, and Lemon, 2014). Pleistocene barrier island and backbarrier deposits define a scarp-and-terrace morphology that documents the location of successive Quaternary sealevel highstands across the coastal plain (Cooke, 1936;Colquhoun and Johnson, 1968;Doar and Kendall, 2014). These ancient barrier systems decrease in elevation and age toward the modern coast, where they commonly form the cores of Holocene barrier islands (Cooke, 1936;Hayes, 1994;Hoyt, Weimer, and Henry, 1964;MacNeil, 1949;Weems, Lemon, and Nelson, 1994).…”
