I know this word, it's French and it means coastline, coastal, something at the edge of the land and sea ! We use it in French a lot to describe positively a long coastline. I'm surprised it's used in an English context, but all French words can be used in English I guess if you're a bit "confiant" about it !

A very quick search suggests that the word entered English before French. (I could be wrong, I just found it interesting).
