Which long-term outcome is suppressed when human infrastructure impedes sediment transport along a coastline with barrier islands?

💡 Explanation

Inhibited sediment transport causes barrier island landward migration to be suppressed, because **longshore drift** feeds sediment to the migrating islands. Landward migration involves island rollover to keep pace with sea level rise; therefore, migration reduces inundation risk, rather than promoting alternative processes.
