How were beach obstacles cleared?

How did landing craft deal with hedgehogs and other beach obstacles?

They sometimes bashed through, while clearance divers and Army engineers also demolished obstacles.

Physical robustness let some craft push into beach obstacles, while specialised clearance divers and Army engineers went forward to destroy barriers and open lanes. Successful landings therefore depended on engineering teams as well as craft design and fire support. The exchange highlights deliberate obstacle clearance alongside the craft's ability to force a passage.
