Tangier Island, a tiny island located in the Chesapeake Bay, has long been isolated from the mainland. The residents, known as watermen, having developed unique traditions, accents, and words, face daily challenges as they and their families try to maintain their way of life as they lose about 15 feet of land a year. This account shows how rising sea levels make their future uncertain at best.
