Talk:Fripp Island, South Carolina

At risk due to rising ocean levels?

This just found: "Scientists: Rising sea levels threaten Hilton Head, Fripp and..." http://www.islandpacket.com/2009/03/29/797155/scientists-rising-sea-levels-threaten.html

And: "Fripp Island. This island is a gated community and hence would not be eligible for federal funding for beach nourishment. It has, however, been nourished with private funds in the past and county planners expect that such nourishment will continue in the future. This island also has hard shore-protection structures. Therefore, the county believes that it is certain to be protected." http://risingsea.net/ERL/SC_Beaufort.html
