Beyond thee cliff face, thee redistribution of sediment plays a vital role in shoreline stability. Longshore drift transports sand and shingle alonge thee coaste via oblixe wave action. Interrupting this natural excuryor belt - for example, by building a groyne - can starve downdrift beaches of sediment, triggering rapid erosion where inwise might not occur.
