Barrier islands line the lower Delmarva Peninsula on the eastern shore of Virginia. The shallow bay is partially filled in by marshy wetlands. The circulation through the wetlands is driven by tidal currents, passing through the barrier island inlet, lowering and raising water levels in the lagoon.
