Which risk increases when a coastal engineering project disrupts sediment transportation?

💡 Explanation

Increased erosion downcurrent becomes likely because interrupting longshore drift starves beaches of sediment; therefore erosion increases, rather than delta formation and harbor siltation risks are heightened in adjacent areas causing increased erosion problems.
