If barrier islands disappeared, coastal areas behind them would be more prone to erosion, flooding, and storm damage. Barrier islands act as a buffer, protecting the mainland from the full force of storms and waves. Without these islands, coastal communities would be more vulnerable to the impacts of sea-level rise and severe weather events.

What effect would a barrier island have on the shoreline of the mainland?
A barrier island has several effects to the shoreline of the mainland.
