Which outcome occurs when a barrier island migrates landward?

💡 Explanation

As a barrier island migrates landward, sediment is deposited predominantly on the lagoon side via overwash and inlet formation; this back-barrier infilling causes lagoon sediment deposition, rather than affecting offshore wave energy, because the overall system readjusts due to sediment budget changes.
