One of America’s most isolated communities is in danger #video#USA Tangier Island, Virginia, is so tiny it’s hard to spot it on a map. Located in the middle of Chesapeake Bay, it is home to less than 500 people. It’s among the most isolated communities in the US. Some say the residents have preserved the style of speech from the island’s earliest English settlers. Generations of Tangier residents have earned their livelihood from catching fish, crab and oysters for nearly 250 years. Tangier Island is even considered the world capital of the soft shell crab. However, their unique community is threatened by climate change and rising sea levels. With nine acres going underwater each year, Tangier Island is predicted to erode by 2050.
