Environment & Ecology
Spanish term or phrase: Manto Eólico Litoral
A text describing the Doñana wetlands in southern Spain

El gran ecosistema de Doñana está formado por tres ecodistritos: el manto eólico litoral de dunas activas, uno de los más importantes de Europa; el sistema costero, con la flecha litoral de Las Marismillas y sus playas; y, por último, la marisma fluvio-marina de limos y arcillas, resultado de rellenarse el estuario del Guadalquivir

This site

suggests "eolic mantle" (and supposedly by extension "coastal eolic mantle") but I cant find any other references

agree  Charles Davis: First in, and "coastal" should be included, I think. You could argue for the spelling "aeolian" (which I like) if it's for the UK.
