tideland
Periodically submerged coast
Tideland is coastal land that lies between the high and low tide marks—submerged at high tide, exposed at low tide.
The term appears most often in legal and environmental contexts concerning property rights, fishing access, and coastal development: The state claimed ownership of the tidelands.
Usually plural.
