entrantes de costa
Spanish to English
Science
Science (general)
marine environments
Aunque coexisten a menudo los hábitats estuárico y marismeño en la desembocadura de los ríos, en nuestras costas hay también marismas no fluviales, asociadas a litorales bajos con bahías cerradas o con ***entrantes de costa*** parcialmente cerrados por una flecha arenosa.
(flecha arenosa = sand bar/spit/bank)
Not many hits for this term in Spanish, so few leads to go on.
TIA:-)

coastal inlets

pero ya existe el término bahía
Otra, estuario: Estuary: (1) A semi-enclosed coastal body of water which has a free connection with the open sea. The seawater is usually measurably diluted with freshwater
Y también: Inlet: (1) A narrow strip of water running into the land or between islands. (2) An arm of the sea (or other body of water) that is long compared to its width, and that may extend a considerable distance inland.
que es la que creo que más se acerca si esas "entrantes de costa" son relativamente angostas
