Which consequence results when unimpeded longshore drift encounters a dredged navigation channel?

💡 Explanation

Increased channel sedimentation occurs because longshore drift transports sediment along the coast. Channel dredging interrupts this transport; bypassing sediment deposits within the channel, enacting channel shoaling, therefore increased sedimentation rather than habitat creation, without channel management.
