Summary:
There are islands in the Chesapeake Bay that have already succumbed to sea level rise, one of them is Holland Island. Even in a best case scenario, the consensus is that we'll get at least two feet of sea level rise by the year 2100. One big question is: What will happen when flooding gets worse and worse and people decide there's no hope for them anymore to live in their respective towns.
