Thanks. The shape of land would be points (promontories?). They make a lee in the currents and the slow current
lets the suspended silt, sand and mud settle out. You can see lots of points (moles?) being built along the beaches in
Florida on the east coast side. They keep all the sand from being washed away because they slow down the current
going past. They make eddies. When you sail on a river it's usually deeper on the outside of the bends. The insides
are shoaling up. This is because water slows down on the inside and it speeds up on the outside.

As Bart stated, "A given Harbor." Not sure but I think Bart was
thinking of a harbor being feed by a stream or creek. The outlet or
"Delta" is where the shoals form
