ecological characterization atlas of coastal alabama - Data Center

Longshore currents in the Gulf of Mexico tend to move from east to west
at rates of 1 to 3 mph and tend to deflect outgoing tides to the west . On
incoming tides these currents increase to 3 to 6 mph (Chermock 1974) .
Man-made factors such as ship channels, spoil lands, and causeways tend to
alter natural current patterns .
