Just relate to common knoledge things, like football. I forget the exact term, but it's when a player gets the football, and the other defensemen surround him in the shape of an arrow. They take all the hard hits (Barrier Island) so the guy with the football (Coastline) doesn't get tackled.

Another function of a Barrier Island that it harbors many types of wildlife that is not commonly found elsewhere, which is why bulding condos' or houses or even entire towns on a Barrier Island is not good for the surrounding environment. But do people still build on them anyway? Yup. Welcome to the 21st Century.
