Sediment starvation occurs when longshore current diminishes; which outcome accelerates dune erosion?

💡 Explanation

As sediment source diminishes on the beach then wave energy focusing onto the backshore increases bed shear stress at base of any dune system through **toe scour**, resulting more erosion. Therefore, dunes are attacked rather than protected by sediment accretion.
