Which outcome regularly results when overwash processes breach a coastal barrier with limited sediment?

💡 Explanation

Barrier islands migrate landward at accelerated rates because overwash transports sediment landward via **sediment transport**, increasing the island's landward growth; therefore, the island retreats rather than accreting seaward or supporting new mangrove and salinity is unrelated.
