Which outcome increases near groynes, because of longshore transport disruption?

💡 Explanation

Increased sediment deposition updrift occurs because the groyne obstructs longshore drift, promoting deposition on the updrift side. Consequently sediment starvation increases erosion downdrift, rather than a general reduction of erosion.
