Which outcome will accelerate following a breach in a barrier island?

💡 Explanation

Increased tidal flow through the breach will accelerate sediment transport and channel widening, leading to tidal prism increase because water volume exchanged grows significantly; therefore, salt marsh or freshwater recharge reduce rather than increase because salinity intrudes further.
