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

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

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.

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

It is so sad, I am sorry

this was a good film

Very big changes

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

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

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

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

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

They really are playing the victim card

can u pinme

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

Who cares!!!
