Haven't seen anything online or even in the article itself that uses this term outside of the West Coast Trail. Not even unreliable sources discusses it this way outside of West Coast Trail. The only reliable source that I found was from the Canadian Government, which contains even less content than the Wikipedia article does. I'd call for a merge or redirection but I'm not sure where it would go, and there is nothing here clearly worth keeping. By the way, I found this article because it showed up on Database reports/Forgotten articles as it had not been edited since 2009, which tells you something about the notability (as in, the lack thereof) this subject.

 * leaning keep I'm not sure how the nominator is searching, but I found numerous GBook and GScholar hits on the phrase that clearly refer to a structure in the intertidal zone. What I don't see is a reference which explains what it is. I'm sure it's out there, and I imagine someone in the field could find such an authority, but I'm having a hard time with the notion that this should be deleted.

 * Keep A very frequently used term in innumerable books and papers on coastal (rocky, dune and mud substrates) habitats, and very easily found. However, a very poorly constructed article in need of some love and attention.Nick Moyes (talk) 15:40, 24 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Update: Love and attention now administered! Nick Moyes (talk) 15:59, 25 July 2018 (UTC)
