Which outcome accelerates coastline erosion when groynes trap sediment?

💡 Explanation

Downcoast sediment starvation accelerates erosion because refraction focuses wave energy on sediment-depleted areas. Longshore drift is interrupted by the constructed barrier, impacting down coast regions; therefore, erosion increases downcoast of the groynes, rather than stabilizes or diffuses the energy.
