For most of history,
man has had to fight nature to survive;
in this century he is beginning to realize that,
in order to survive, he must protect it.
Jacques-Yves Cousteau

'We left pieces of our life behind': Indigenous group flees drowning island - BBC News
Photo of an old man and his grandson who are standing in seawater that levels to the boys shoulders and his grandfathers chest. The 500-strong community on Kioa Island has grown from a settlement of people who sought refuge in the 1940s from rising sea levels on Tuvalu, an island to the north. Now, their fishing and farming economy is threatened again, as increasingly eroding by seawater rising shorelines. More than 600 communities around Fiji could be forced to relocate in the coming years.
Lotomau Fiafia (72), a community elder, stands with his grandson John at the point where he remembers the shoreline used to be when he was a boy. Salia Bay, Kioa Island, #Fiji.
