                         25m depth in N-E Brazil by TM-Landsat imagery is described. The 
                         study area is located on a tectonically stable part of the 
                         Brazilian shelf which presently shows a minor uplift rate of 02mm 
                         year , to the north of Natal in the State of Rio Grande do Norte. 
                         This submerged shoreline is characterized by the occurrence of a 
                         large number of long beachrock outcrops (>3Km in length), observed 
                         by diving, which are comparable to their analogues seen on the 
                         present-day beaches of the adjacent coast. The good state of 
                         preservation of this shoreline and the large number of carbonate 
                         rock 'reefs' on it suggest abruptness of a return to transgressive 
                         sea-level relating to the 11000-9000 yr B.P. band. By reviewing 
                         high resolution paleoclimatic data from this period, we conjecture 
                         that this stillstand could be a consequence of the Younger Dryas 
                         cold event in the north Atlantic, which might have also had 
                         importance as a driving morphogenetic process for coasts in a 
                         global scale.",
