| 摘要： | In 1992, Joseph Vietri, then a coastal engineer with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, New York District, was walking with a colleague and a coastal researcher around Westhampton Beach, a barrier island located on the south shore of Long Island, New York (NY ).A barrier island is a long narrow island that lies parallel and close to the mainland, protecting the mainland from erosion and storms.Vietri said, "The island was recently beaten up by a Nor'eas-ter. We were walking in ankle-deep water and started to wade into peat that must off broken off of a wetland." Peat is decomposed organic matter that acts like a binding agent. It keeps wetland soil together. Once broken free, erosion can accelerate dramatically. |
