False. Barrier islands on the Mississippi Gulf Coast consist of sand dunes that are typically higher and more substantial than just barely breaking the waves. These islands serve as a protective barrier against storm surges and coastal erosion, helping to shield the mainland from the direct impact of waves and severe weather. Their elevation and structure play a crucial role in coastal dynamics and ecosystem protection.
