- 1近岸、近海（靠近海岸或往岸邊；不是「內陸」）
Inshore means near the shore, towards the shore, or to the shore. Inshore waters are the sea close to land. A boat comes inshore when it moves in from the open sea. Fishermen talk about inshore fishing: catching fish near the coast, not far out. It can describe a thing (inshore winds, inshore waters) or tell you the direction (the boat drifted inshore). Though actually, this is a sea word, not a land word. If you are in a city away from the ocean, that is inland, not inshore. Offshore is the partner: away from the shore, out to sea — and in business, sometimes “in another country.” Coastal people and sailors use inshore more than city students do.
組成in- (“in / towards”) + shore (the land at the edge of the sea).
