Coming to a community near you: An update on Prince Edward Island’s coastal erosion
Essentially a large sandbar made up of primarily sand and sandstone, Prince Edward Island is vulnerable to the impacts of climate change, especially coastal erosion, sea-level rise, and storm surges. Islanders are particularly worried about their homes and cottages built close to the water’s edge.
The Government of Prince Edward Island and the University of Prince Edward Island have come together to survey PEI’s changing coastline every year and build a number of tools that allow Islanders to understand their property’s vulnerability to coastal erosion.
