1
I'm Joe Kistel and in just a few moments we are going to sink this barge to create an artificial reef.
2
So ironically the first thing we had to do before we sank the barge was get up on the barge
3
and since I was the tallest I was volunteered to climb up the stern of the barge.
4
You hold your own weight?
5
Yeah.
6
I'm good.
7
All right.
8
There we go.
9
Pilates.
10
And then I could get the ladder so everybody else could get up.
11
What are you talking about?
12
It's nice and stable up here.
13
And now that we're on the barge, the next step was to position the barge in place
14
and deploy the very massive anchor and this would ensure our barge would stay in the appropriate sinking location.
15
Okay, so the anchor's down, now the barge will kind of swing in position.
16
We're gonna disconnect the tug, then we're gonna start pumping this boat down, and then we're gonna have holes in the side of the boat, so eventually once we pump enough water in the barge will get heavy enough,
17
water will come in the side of the barge, and we can take the pumps off and this thing will sink by itself.
18
We just gotta get off in time.
19
Yeah, we got them all.
20
You guys good over there?
21
Yeah.
22
Perfect.
23
All right, hold on.
24
You got it.
25
A little bit of water coming into bowl holes.
26
Woo!
27
Alright, so at this phase of the project we're actually pumping water into the boat.
28
The idea here is that we pump enough water in, the barge sinks a little bit, and then water will start naturally coming in the boat itself, and then we can get off in the barge sink.
29
A little counterintuitive pumping water into a vessel.
30
Okay, so we've got quite a few sync cameras on here.
31
We've got one up here.
32
I've got one underneath here.
33
We've got one here, one there, one there.
34
Quite a few.
35
The idea is one is redundancy because sometimes the cameras run out of batteries or they freeze up or whatever.
36
And a couple more here.
37
So we've got redundancy and we've got cool angles.
38
And this should allow us to get the best sinking view.
39
All right, it's game time.
40
Boat sinker.
41
We're getting off here because this thing is going to sink.
42
Thank you.
43
All right, we're good, Captain.
44
Looks like we're holding position pretty well.
45
I'm sorry.
46
I'm going to go
47
to the next episode so
48
I'm sorry.
49
The I'm
50
going to
51
go to the next one so
52
So the question may be, why did you do this?
53
Why did you sink this barge intentionally?
54
Well, the simple answer is to create marine habitat.
55
And we know this works because we've done it many times before.
56
In fact, just about a thousand feet from where this barge sits now was a vessel
57
that we sank a few years ago.
58
And here's what that vessel looks like today.
59
This was a very involved project that took strategic planning and regulatory oversight.
60
We had to select and survey a site within an artificial reef permit area
61
and we had to prepare
62
and clean the barge to a state of environmental soundness to make sure it worked well to create an artificial reef.
63
Today's a big moment.
64
This is the day we're gonna try to walk the old crane off our soon to be artificial reef barge.
65
Okay, so pretty cool.
66
We're gonna install an additional helm to this barge.
67
We're gonna put it about right here to give the reef a little relief
68
and to give it a little bit more personality.
69
And this was an amazing project to be a part of.
70
And it's pretty cool to think that this unique recycling effort can create new marine habitat,
71
a new offshore ecosystem that's gonna benefit the Northeast Florida environment, as well as the regional community.
72
And a big thanks to all the players
73
that are involved to make this project a reality and to create this new offshore destination for the region.
74
Thanks for watchin'.

  1. ビデオを再生し、ジョーの発音やイントネーションを注意深く聞きます。
  2. 1秒遅れで同じように発音し、リズムを合わせます。
  3. 5回繰り返して、自然に話せるようになりましょう。

この練習はshadowspeaksの基本で、英語スピーキング練習に最適です。少しずつ慣れてきたら、もっと長い部分に挑戦してみてください。あなたの発音がどんどん良くなること間違いなしです!

シャドーイングとは?英語上達に効果的な理由

シャドーイング(Shadowing)は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的:ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影(shadow)」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
