Which outcome occurs when a wooden-hulled ship grounds on a reef for an extended period?

💡 Explanation

Increased marine borer damage is likely, because shipworms and gribbles accelerate wood degradation via bioerosion. This process weakens the hull, therefore compromising structural integrity rather than stabilizing it; cathodic protection and corrosion rates are also not improved.
