TANGIER, Va. -- A resident of Tangier, Virginia, walks along a road covered by tidal flood waters here September 16, 2016. The small Chesapeake Bay island community of roughly 470 residents are experiencing the impacts of sea level rise, erosion and land subsidence. Scientist estimate the island may become uninhabitable over the next 25 to 50 years if something is not done to help keep the island above water.
