| salt meadow (A meadow subject to overflow by salt water) | móinéar salainn | |
| salt plug (A mass of salt which is injected as a diapir (a dome in which the overlying rocks have been ruptured by the squeezing-out of plastic core material) into overlying sedimentary rocks, thereby piercing and deforming them. The mechanism is similar to that of an intrusive magma, with the salt deforming and behaving plastically under pressure. It is of great economic importance because it assists in the formation of a "trap" structure for oil accumulation, in addition to its associated deposits of anhydrite, gypsum and sulphur) | pluga salainn | |
| salt water (Water of the seas, distinguished by high salinity) | sáile | |
| salvage (The act, process, or business of rescuing vessels or their cargoes from loss at sea) | tarrthálas | |

| sand dune fixation (Stabilization of dunes effected by the planting of marram grass (Ammophila arenaria), or rice grass, whose long roots bind the surface layers of sand and so hinder its removal by wind. A larger scale method of dealing with the same problem is by afforestation) | dumhcha a dhaingniú | |
| sand extraction (The extraction of sand by mining for building purposes and for the extraction of heavy minerals such as rutile and zircon) | gaineamh a bhaint | |
| sand flat (A sandy tidal flat barren of vegetation. A tidal flat is an extensive, nearly horizontal, marshy or barren tract of land that is alternately covered and uncovered by the tide, and consisting of unconsolidated sediment (mostly mud and sand). It may form the top surface of a deltaic deposit) | machaire gainimh | |
