I came for a visit in 1983 & stayed at the rental house on the island near tangier. I had such a wonderful stay. I remember 2 young men, Cookie & Jack who gave me a tour of the islands. Fun memories

Jetty or seawalls backfilled is the only way but it can work for a limited time.

The Chesapeake is such a beautiful place. I certainly hope these islands get the help they need. We don't need more history lost.

I would like to live there , like the dry , no drinking , no cars , simplicity 😉

With all the talk of sea-level rise I thought they'd show some evidence of it rising. They didn't. Give me a scientific measurement showing sea-level actually went higher.

What rising sea levels? The Chesapeake is the shallowest tributary with 20ft average depth. Look at pictures of the Baltimore harbor in the 1900s, same piers, same water levels. Look at pictures of Ellis Island and today same water level. This is complete and utter nonsense.

They have to stick to the political narrative. We all know now that erosion and sediment distribution disruption is the problem. The height of the water hasn't changed but the mass of land has been swept into the ocean without being replenished like it use to. Damns, roads, shoreline protection measures all of it has consequences.

this was a good film

Been that way since I was a boy in the 70s. Why aren't the docks underwater? I hope this isn't true.

@derpderp-np3tr warm water evaporates and it rains after becoming clouds. I don't deny climate change just think about the changes over time and stuff that makes me wonder what's really going on. I see warm water fish moving father north every summer. Maine Lobster pushing up into Nova Scotia farther every year. Permit and Tarpon moving farther north. Winter Striped Bass no longer feeding on schools of Men Haden off of Kitty Hawk in the winters and being more concentrated off of Jersey and Montauk. Are these just cycles of fisheries or climate driven changes? Why do the waves at tge lighthouse in Buxton still break off of the same metal groin they broke off of in the 70s yet the lighthouse itself has been moved 3 times? Just observations from an aging coastal fisherman and surfer.

@derpderp-np3tr warm water doesn't expand at a noticeable level. If it did the docks would be underwater yet they are not. Barrier coastal islands expand on the back sides while eroding on the front sides. This science has been known for years.

Cause it's a full bore lie. They'll steal these people's property.

Why? and after the islands, is it all the North East coast that will disappear ? 😮😮😮

It is so sad, I am sorry

Very big changes

Land in the Chesapeake bay region is also literally sinking. During the peak of the last advance of the glaciers everything north of New York city was covered with thousands of feet of ice. Like someone sitting on a bed this squashed down the land under the ice and bowed up the land just to the south, ie the Chesapeake. Then the ice melted and northeastern North America started rebounding in elevation. This allows the bowed up region of the Chesapeake to slump down in elevation as the areas equalise. This process is still going on and the land under Tangier is dropping in elevation. In conjunction with sea level rise and more intense storms as a result of climate change the defence of Tangier looks more and more untenable because every human settlement on the coast, on a river or stream or on a lakeshore is going to need attention. We don't have close to enough resources to defend everything and Tangier is pretty much indefensible.

We should build islands a boons reefs country people with their own language

They really are playing the victim card

Well human involvement had massive effects , climate bs ,rising seas , much less

Nice film, but so concerning. We need to reverse global warming before this is happening to all our coasts!

The Earth has gone through several cycles of global warming and freezing in the history, nothing can stop this. Humans’ activities may speed up the process though.

Who cares!!!
