Which outcome occurs when excessive coastal development interrupts longshore drift's sediment transport?

💡 Explanation

Increased erosion occurs because interruption of longshore drift causes sediment starvation downdrift due to sediment transport blocking, therefore erosion increases rather than accretion because sediment supply diminishes.
