Which outcome results from increased anthropogenic barrier island erosion?

💡 Explanation

Barrier islands protect inland ecosystems; erosion causes landward transgression through **overwash**, because sediment transport increases inundation frequency. Therefore, maritime ecosystems migrate landward, rather than saltwater intrusion or freshwater wetlands expanding with decreased erosion.
