To gradually become lesser in speed or magnitude is to ebb. It means to move away from a certain mark, to dwindle in amount or recede.
Ebbing is usually used in context with tides or waves or pertaining to water. It is described as the activity wherein the water flows back. For example, "the waves ebbed and flowed".
To ebb also refers to the activity of hemming or pulling in of fish with help of nets in order to stop them from returning into the water body with the ebb.
