Which ecosystem change occurs due to sediment-driven inhibition of coastal water flow?

💡 Explanation

Longshore drift deposits sediment creating new landforms. This causes coastline progradation because sediment accumulation leads to expansion of mangrove forests into newly formed intertidal zone, rather than seismic events or altering thermal vents.
