Tangier Island
£20.00
JUST PUBLISHED
Tangier Island is home to the Chesapeake Bay’s isolated community of “watermen,” who have lived off crab fishing since the mid-nineteenth century.
The island is sinking and shrinking at an alarming rate because of geological changes and rising sea levels caused by global warming. Without government support to construct sea walls, the island’s 436 residents may be the first refugees of climate change in the continental U.S.A.
