| Submerged vegetation consisted of dense beds of eelgrass or green algae which occurred on intertidal mudflat habitat. |
| If they were constantly affected by large waves the sediment that constitutes the mudflat would be transported elsewhere. |
| Their bills and long legs are well-adapted to feeding on a mudflat for those organisms that bury themselves in the soft mud. |
| The resulting indentations are channels for incoming or outgoing tidal water and may change the structure of the mudflat at that location. |
| In extreme situations, storm waves will cause abnormal changes on a mudflat. |
| During the time of Alexander the Great it was a navigable lake, but it is now an extensive mudflat, inundated during monsoon seasons. |
