Which outcome results along coastlines when inlets migrate on barrier islands?

💡 Explanation

Inlet migration causes altered sediment deposition patterns shoreward because the changing pathways modify **longshore drift**. Therefore different depositional environments emerge, rather than consistent nutrient upwelling because that needs other broader circulation contributors.
