A Guy Named Brian (he/him)A thought-provoking essay: “There is no time to wait. States & localities that start to invest in managed retreat now will incur far less damage in the future, saving lives and avoiding financial ruin. And governors, mayors and county leaders who demonstrate leadership before disaster strikes will be able to stand tall knowing they did what was necessary to protect their communities.”

"The Seashore recently purchased two threatened oceanfront properties and associated structures in Rodanthe. Thanks to the National Park Trust for their assistance and funding from the Land and Water Conservation Fund, properties at 23292 and 23298 East Beacon Road were purchased for fair market value using zero taxpayer dollars. Fair market value was determined by a certified appraiser and the Department of the Interior's Appraisal and Valuation Services Office."

Instead, the suburb might exist within a smaller or changed footprint, Rowe says. "Maybe high-density housing, maybe there's more green and blue space. So when it does flood the water goes in those places rather than people's homes and living rooms."
