Obviously, this has a dramatic impact on the terrestrial environment, but it also has a significant effect on the reef itself.
顯然這堆陸地環(huán)境將造成巨大影響，對大堡礁本身也有顯著影響。
And it's not only crops, cattle ranches, fish farms, six large coastal cities and many holiday resorts along the coast all have an impact on the reef system.
農(nóng)作物不是唯一的問題，養(yǎng)牛場，養(yǎng)魚場，6個大型沿海城市，無數(shù)海岸度假圣地都對珊瑚礁系統(tǒng)產(chǎn)生影響。
Without the natural vegetation controlling the movement of water in the seidments it carries, heavy rain now washes millions of tons of silt, often laced with damaging fertilizers of pesticides straight into the lagoon.
沒有自然植被被緩沖雨水及雨水?dāng)y帶的沉積物，數(shù)百萬噸淤泥被大雨直接沖刷下來，其中時常攜帶著破壞環(huán)境的化肥和農(nóng)藥，所有這些直接流入環(huán)礁湖。
Sediment pollutants can be so extensive, they sometimes spread all the way to the outer reef.

In the sea grass meadows, the fine silt shrouds the light-dependant plants and fertilizers feed algal blooms that choke the life from them.
在海草牧場，泥沙覆蓋了依賴光照的植物，而肥料催生了藻類爆發(fā)，消耗了其他生命需要的氧氣。
When the meadows die, the turtles, dugongs and baby fish that depend on them die too.
當(dāng)海草因此大批死去，以海草為食的海龜，儒艮和依賴海草的幼魚也隨之死去。
Near the shore, the water can be so murky that less light reaches the corals, so most fringing reefs have also disappeared.
靠近岸邊的水體也會變得極為渾濁，只有少量光線可以照到珊瑚上，所以大部分的岸礁也消失了。
