Caught between generations of life on the water and the tide of change, the Eastern Shore of Virginia is a land that lives by and with the sea. Coastal erosion, climate change, and rising sea levels have played a part in shaping the shifting landscape and creating a unique biosphere. Tourism has increased recently, and local people have welcomed visitors who come here for the wildlife, peace and quiet. Dedicated work by groups of conservationists and individuals are striving to maintain access to the beauty of an unspoiled corner of the Earth that will survive for generations to come.
