Tangier Island, VA., located in the middle of the Chesapeake Bay, will most likely be gone in the next twenty years. Climate change and sea erosion have doomed this truly unique place, displacing a people and wiping out a culture that has been there for over four centuries. The entire island is less than 740 acres, with barely 83 habitable. It is only 4 feet above sea level at its highest point, and that is changing rapidly. The only way to get on or off the island is by boat or plane.
