The people who first built their homes and fought in the wars for our nation, didn't know geology. To them it was solid ground, and they built a city, a community there for generation after generation. This is the sign for all people to pay attention to. Many cities, small and quite large with millions of population on the brink of being climate refugees with no one to take them in, no land to relocate to. United States is a mover and shaker when we want to be, but we only pay attention when it comes to our shores. This island is a harbinger of what's to come.

These folks live in what’s basically a tourist attraction, now. They CAN move to other harbors. But the same thing is happening to entire Maryland Eastern Shore.

The fact that any storm surge to hit the region floods it, as depicted here, is a better talking point concerning climate change. Since more storm surges in Virginia is a consequence of a changing climate.

Im just wondering, would a seawall really help alleviate the problem in the long term? I would think sand supplementation would be more worthwhile in the long run helping preserve the areas ecological value by maintaining the dynamic environment in which it lays.

Azivegu.. from a ecological standpoint, the wall must first be built before any sand be supplemented... because the sand will only erode with just one or two storms if theres no wall to contain it.... theres actually a cheaper way to do it, but it takes decades to make it efffective---- mangroves instead of walls,

+Azivegu Sand supplementation works on existing beaches with dunes. However in this case a seawall is more effective.

How building a seawall would do any good? Government would be better of spending $30 millions on purchasing new housing for 500 Tangier residents outside of this island, on mainland.

The residents are in denial if they think a sea wall will give them much in the way of time. The island is sand and also the sea is rising. Not to mention there is a health risk with all that water staying under homes...Black mold. If they care about themselves and their families they will move off the island now.

Daufuskie Island, South Carolina An entire row of beach homes was taken out (or in the process of) and being swept into the sea. It's happening faster than we thought

This guy has a really high voice

It's a beautiful town. It's too bad they built their community on sinking sand. There are some places people should avoid settling in. This is one of them. Still, it's very sad...my heart and prayers go out to everyone...

Are there any other moving silt deltas they can move onto?

$30 million to save 500 homes? I think the tax money would be better spent relocating the people on Tangier. Building a wall around the island is a temporary solution. Eventually the water will rise above the wall or the wall will fail, then people could die.

move, people. there is no saving this island

I have lived on the shoreline my whole life. The water has not changed at all. I see no evidence of sea level change. It's land that is sinking period. Sea levels do not rise in one place and not another. Sea levels are the same everywhere in the world.

@irenafarm

“Sea levels do not rise in one place and not another.” How do you not know about tides if you live on the shore? Sea levels are uneven all over the globe. We’ve been able to measure absolute elevation for 25 years. You can look up where the absolute elevation of the ocean is more or less. It bulges at the equator and also in response to tidal forces. The continental shelves and plates affect how sea level changes affect shores. Subsidence occurs for various reasons, some related to human activity, and some natural processes. Same with isostatic rebound that occurs as glaciers retreat. Continental rebound makes sea level drop in some areas.

I don't see people mentioning that the island is a river delta island. River delta islands get flooded periodically to deposit more soil on top of old mud. As the weight pushes down, it squeezes the water out of the mud, but because it gets flooded it remains above the river level other wise. When you dredge the channels though the river, you prevent the flooding of the island for a time, and it doesn't get the mud. IF these people want to save their island, they need to copy nature and put mud on top of the island. IF they are draining water from the aquafer below, its more their fault.

Thanks Chick for reminding me I need a haircut

Any possibilities to avoid that sinking

Remember learning about this island in high school and that the sand was washing out from under it. At the same time in high school they were teaching us that by now we would have an ice age....

So the Land Mass is sinking? How much is the higher water levels attributed to sinking or Sea Water levels rising?

Town may have history, but it is inevitable it will be reclaimed by the bay. The numbers don't add up to save a sand bar, that would be like pouring concrete in a volcano to keep it from erupting.

It wasn't that bad when their ancestors moved there 350 years ago.

I think I see that island everytime I go through the Chesapeake bay Bridge tunnel.

just gonna point out - its easy for all of us to say ‘yo just move, you shouldn’t have built there in the first place’. but those are people’s homes, and it sounds like in many cases, these people have called this place home for generations and generations. that sense of community and belonging can’t be replaced as easily as a house can if they were to move. i don’t know if a seawall would buy more time, as being a barrier island, your water table is going to be incredibly close to the surface. water isn’t just coming across the surface of the land from the sea, but up through the ground as well. perhaps stilts for the houses? that would at least buy a little more time. with rising sea levels, i don’t think this community is going to be the only one displaced, but trying to hold back an entire ocean isn’t going to work. finding adaptive and sustainable housing for all communities should probably be a more reasonable goal. like who knows? maybe developing some kind of floatable houses for island and coastal communities that can withstand changing sea-levels and allow people like them to retain a sense of home and belonging despite changing times.
