Exactly. I mean, that's for coir ropes, you know, some of those brown twine ropes are made with coir.

没错。我是说，那是用来做椰棕绳的，有些棕色的麻绳就是用椰棕绳做的。

Those plants can also be placed in holes that can be punched into the coir material.

这些植物也可以被放置在可以冲压到椰子材料上的孔中。

Long pieces from the outer shell of the coconut, known as coir, are often used with other materials to build barriers.

椰子外壳上的长片被称为椰壳，通常与其他材料一起用来建造屏障。

Coconut coir is also a renewable resource. Each new coconut that grows will provide some coir.

椰壳也是一种可再生资源。 每个长出的新椰子都会提供一些椰壳。

That is where Julia Hopkins, an assistant professor at Northeastern University, is using coir, wood chips and other material to create floating barriers to slow the force of waves.

东北大学助理教授朱莉娅·霍普金斯正是在这里使用椰壳、木屑和其他材料制造浮动屏障，以减缓波浪的力量。
