The coastal interface where the Arctic tundra meets the Chukchi Sea defines this 2014 survey of the Northwest Arctic Borough. The landscape is dominated by a complex system of lagoons separated from the open sea by narrow barrier beaches, including Singoalik Lagoon, Seppings Lagoon, Tasikpak Lagoon, and Pusaluk Lagoon. These coastal features suggest a dynamic shoreline environment where inland drainage from the Singoalik River and smaller streams like Sakrorak Cr filter into the brackish waters before reaching the ocean.
