Tangier Island Faces Erosion Threat and Isolation
Tangier Island in Chesapeake Bay, home to 892 residents and rich English colonial history, is vanishing at 18 feet per year. A seawall and airport protection are underway with a $356,500 program, partly federal funded, while permanent solutions are studied. Resident life relies on sea routes, air service, and local fisheries. Meanwhile, White House bird counts show the fewest species in seven years with eleven species and 98 individual birds observed.
