Which risk increases when coastal engineers use impermeable groynes?

💡 Explanation

Increased down-drift erosion occurs due to sediment starvation caused by interruption of longshore transport. The mechanism is sediment interception, because groynes block the natural flow; therefore, areas down-drift erode significantly faster, rather than a uniform algae increase.
