Abstract
    The classification system for organising and mapping Holocene coastal deposits as introduced by Streif is highlighted with respect to mapping requirements. Apart from the requirements such as a user-friendly legend and map, the linkage of the classification system with the history of deposition is demonstrated for the tide-dominated lowlands of the southern North Sea and English Channel. The linkage becomes obvious when considering the effect of the changes in the rate of relative sea-level rise. The difficulties that surrounded the lithostratigraphy of Holocene coastal deposits and the principles of the classification system which eventually made an end to the well-known and long-standing debate about the lithostratigraphy are briefly recalled.
