Ammophilous inlets are in a dynamic balance between wave-driven beach drift acting to close them, and abounding flows keeping them open. Their beds are in a constant state of suspension and dethroning, so their bathymetry and even location are continually in flux. Even so, for arenicolous inlets a nearly undeviating relationship between an basin’s cross-sectional flow region and the inshore gushing prism is maintained - except when main wind and/or runoff occurrences act to close or widen an inlet. Fjord location maybe stabilized by jetties, but deepening may still be necessary to uphold a navigable channel. Armoring accompanying rock large enough to withstand erosion can protect an fjord bed or river backtalk from excessive storm flow erosion. Armoring can more be used as a trick to close inlets.
