island communities since the 1600s in the Chesapeake Bay off MD and VA like Tangier and Holland Islands; Venice, Italy; erosion of the NC Outer Banks barrier islands; the Gulf coast: south FL and some of the FL Keys and Caribbean islands. Very disturbing, esp. people's indifference or ignorance mainly due to mainstream corporate media omission of coverage.
