Which consequence results when sediment transport stalls on coastal islands?

💡 Explanation

Reduced sediment transport causes a decline in landward marsh migration because the natural cycle of sediment deposition sustaining these marshes diminishes via sediment starvation; therefore marsh boundaries erode inland, rather than accreting outward given adequate sediment.
