1. Home to 400 coral species, the Great Barrier reef is a Mosaic of approximately 2, 900 offshore and inshore reefs. 大堡礁是400种珊瑚的产地,是个约有2 900种远海有和近海珊瑚礁的大拼盘。
2. The National Weather Service reported winds on the barrier islands were gusting to around 40 MPH as Earl's eye moved closer but remained offshore. 国家气象局报告岛屿风的屏障被阵风时速约40眼作为伯爵的动议,但仍接近海外。
3. As a coastal geologist who studies coastal storm impacts, it is clear to me that this berm, located just offshore of the barrier islands, will also be extremely susceptible to erosion. 作为研究海岸风暴影响的海岸地质学家,我很清楚这样一个坐落在屏障岛外围的沙堤极容易受到侵蚀。
