As Water Levels Rise, Historic Islands In Chesapeake Bay Slowly Disappear

HOOPERSVILLE, MARYLAND - NOVEMBER 12: In an aerial view, watermen Chris Jones and Ryan Elzey work to empty and re-bait about 350 crab pots on board the Desperado in the Chesapeake Bay on November 12, 2022 near Hoopersville, Maryland. According to some estimates, the water level in the Chesapeake Bay could rise by as much as 2 feet by 2050, submerging almost half of Dorchester County, home to watermen and farming communities since its settlement in the mid 17th century.
