Places where there's little or no current. This allows silt and sand and mud to settle outta the water.
Places with current get scoured and the silt and sand and mud doesn't have a chance to settle to the bottom.

Good answer Neal. Worth a point.

But there is more to it than this.

Have you looked at multiple harbors in the same general
area and compared them? What other conclusions can
you draw?

Shoals are found where the water is shallow, or alternatively, where
the bottom is high.

Right, Bart?

This one was a 6' tall blonde. Very pretty but
she never had to develop a personality.

Sometimes, in some places, the water is so shallow that the
bottom actually sticks up above the surface.

Shoals are usually found behind the markers.
