Which outcome results when accelerated coastal Longshore Drift encounters an estuary inlet?

💡 Explanation

Barrier island inlet migration accelerates because the longshore drift deposits sediment, causing **shoaling** at inlet mouths. Therefore, the inlet shifts along the coastline, rather than increased upstream fouling or diminished diffraction, because deposition dictates migration.
