Near coral reef islands, which process maintains channel depths?

💡 Explanation

Tidal scouring maintains channel depths because it erodes sediments due to increased flow during tides; therefore, channels deepen rather than becoming shallow. Halocline stratification has related density driven flow behavior with varying effects, rather than targeted channel maintenance
