Halocline caves

Any ideas of features to lookout for to suggest that a cave system in a coastal area may have been formed by a halocline process. Particular system I am thinking of shows a series of horizontal levels which appear to correspond with former sea level horizons, linked by passages following the dip (ca 30 degrees).

I can think of a few people to ask, notably in the Geography Dept at Bristol.
