| 释义 |
Breton Island is an island (or group of islands) in the Gulf of Mexico near the mouth of the Mississippi River and part of Plaquemines Parish, Louisiana.[1] It is part of the Breton National Wildlife Refuge, which was established in 1904. Number of islandsIn the early 19th century, Breton Island comprised two islands.[2] Prior to Hurricane Opal in 1995, it was a single island, and was divided in two by that storm. After Hurricane Georges in 1998 it was divided into three islands.[3] Hurricane Ivan in 2004 caused additional damage to the island.[3] Erosion and restorationBreton Island decreased from {{convert|820|acre}} in 1869 to {{convert|125|acre}} in 1996.[4] Some restoration was done in 1999 funded pursuant to the Water Resources Development Act of 1992;[5] the project was put on hold in 2000.[4] It is possible that fines from the Deepwater Horizon oil spill may be used for rebuilding Breton Island.[6] References1. ^{{cite book|author1=Sir Humphry Davy|author2=U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey|title=The collected works of Sir Humphry Davy ...: Discourses delivered before the Royal society.
