Shoreline Earth provides a view toward the future.
Those of you who rely on Earth’s Shoreline for your livelihood should make this your ‘go to’ place for Sea Level Rise info and updates.
This list includes everyone from swimsuit models to marina operators to commercial fishermen to operators of huge container ships…and then some.
From boatyards, to barrooms, to beaches, my life has revolved around the water’s edge for as long as I can recall.
Now, all of a sudden, our endeavors along the shoreline, be they for work or pleasure, are threatened because politically expedient windbags are over-reacting to the threat of Sea Level Rise.
Every town, city, county, and state along the US East Coast has announced plans for coastal barriers and seawalls to be constructed in advance of the rising tide.
It’s catching on everywhere and spreading faster than an unchecked viral pandemic.
If all the coastal barriers projected for US East Coast are built, The Ocean will soon create a fast moving channel along the Seaward side, running from South of The Chesapeake to Cape Cod.
This channel will funnel and accelerate Northward moving storm surges, bringing warmer water North, sustaining Hurricanes further North than ever before.
This is a known fact when planning for any sort of coastal diversion.
Yet the plans continue.
I predict that if all the barriers are built, the area from New Bedford to The Cape Cod Canal will be become an open channel, flowing from Buzzard's bay to Cape Cod Bay within a few Hurricane seasons.
That's just one example.
