Which risk increases for coastal wetlands when longshore drift is interrupted by artificial groynes?

💡 Explanation

Wetland subsidence becomes more likely because groynes trap sediment via longshore drift preventing its natural distribution, therefore wetlands starve rather than accreting sediment. Saltwater intrusion is more related to sea-level rise and surge relates to bigger storms.
