Yes, I am confident in the response. Barrier islands in Georgia provide significant benefits by:
B. Protecting the coastline from waves and wind: Barrier islands act as a natural buffer against storm surges and erosion, helping to protect the mainland and coastal communities from the impact of waves and wind.
C. Serving as a tourist destination: The barrier islands, such as Tybee Island and Jekyll Island, attract tourists for their natural beauty, recreational activities, and unique ecosystems, contributing to the local economy.
Options A (creating deep sea ports) and D (reducing the likelihood of drought) are not directly associated with the benefits provided by barrier islands in Georgia.
