	Barrier Islands (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Islands farther to the west and closer to the path of the storm suffered greater alterations in shape and size than did islands on the eastern end of the chain.
		Because plants on barrier islands are generally adapted to sand movement, salt spray, and low levels of nutrients, it is not suprising that, despite burial by sand and exposure to the storm surge, the vegetation on Trinity Island is rapidly recovering.
		Surprisingly, revegetation on the bay side of the islands was strongly correlated with the presence of shrimp burrows, suggesting that the shrimp influence the entrapment and growth of plant propagules.

		The term "heat island" refers to urban air and surface temperatures that are higher than nearby rural areas.
		In general, the harmful impacts from summertime heat islands are greater than the wintertime benefits, and most heat island reduction strategies can reduce summertime heat islands without eliminating wintertime benefits.
		While they are distinct phenomena, summertime heat islands may contribute to global warming by increasing demand for air conditioning, which results in additional power plant emissions of heat-trapping greenhouse gases.

		Pico, named for its 7,700-foot high volcano (yes, you can climb it with a guide) was first settled in the mid-1400s, but it isn't totally wrapped up in the past: Active visitors can spend their days diving, hiking, sailing, deep-sea fishing, and whale watching.
