What would happen if barrier islands disappeared?
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 would all occur on a shoreline with barrier islands?
A barrier island is just what it sounds like, a barrier that protects the mainland from storm surges, beach erosion, and other tidal forces. Usually a barrier island has the classic "beach" with sand, dunes, and wave action. An intracoastal body of water then separates the barrier island from the mainland, where there is usually only a minimal beach and very calm waves. The state of Florida has many coastal areas which feature barrier islands. The cities of Daytona Beach, Miami Beach, Sanibel Island, Clearwater Beach are all built on barrier islands. They are attractive because of their natural beauty and proximity to the ocean, but are dangerous places to be during severe weather such as tropical storms and hurricanes.

What facilities are there in the Great Barrier Reef?
There are no actual facilities in the Great Barrier Reef itself. It is a reef out in the Coral Sea. However, because the Great Barrier Reef extends for about 2300 km off the coast of Queensland, there are dozens of towns and several cities along the mainland that have all the facilities one would expect.
