The Coastal Plain

The Coastal Plain is a flat, low-lying region near the coast, stretching inland from the Atlantic Ocean or Gulf of Mexico. It features sandy beaches, marshes, swamps, and fertile land suitable for agriculture and urban development. The area often has a warmer climate and abundant water resources. This region plays a vital role in ecosystems, supporting diverse plant and animal life, and holds economic importance through tourism, fishing, and farming. Geographically, it acts as a buffer zone between the ocean and inland areas, shaping the climate and land use patterns of the surrounding regions.
