Which consequence results when coastline armoring undermines adjacent shorelines?

💡 Explanation

Increased sediment starvation develops because shoreline armoring reflects wave energy contributing to higher erosion rates. This causes down-drift coasts to erode due to a lack of sediment supply from the armored area, rather than stability given natural sediment distribution.
