Default Shoals!

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?
