Which outcome is accelerated when longshore drift slows near groynes?

A)Increased coastal erosion down-drift
B)Enhanced deposition up-drift side
C)Elevated marine biodiversity overall
D)Reduced sediment cell connectivity

💡 Explanation

Coastal erosion increases down-drift because the mechanism of sediment transport is interrupted by the groin; therefore, down drift areas are sediment-starved, rather than experiencing continued beach accretion.
