Figure 6
The 93.5-km long San Jose Department coastal belt, which faces the Río de la Plata Estuary, is divided into six individual Biophysical Cross-shore Classification System (BCCS) domains and four super domains (from east to west: Playa Pascual, Punta del Tigre, Libertad, and Ordeig). Red lines separate the individual domain segments that were classified throughout the department. The 60.6-km long Ordeig Super Domain takes up more than half of the San Jose Department coastal belt and is characterized by barrier beaches and islands that are backed landward by developed upland archetypes with residential and agricultural sub archetypes. All codifications can be keyed using Table 1, and morphometric analysis of the San Jose Department corresponds directly with Table 6.
