In Rodanthe, North Carolina, kam es in letzten Tagen mehrfach dazu, dass H\u00e4user vom Meer „verschluckt“ wurden. So wie in diesem Fall am 24. September. Verantwortlich daf\u00fcr ist eine vermehrte K\u00fcstenerosion, die daf\u00fcr sorgt, dass das Wasser immer mehr Platz f\u00fcr sich beansprucht. <\/p>\n
September 24, 2024, third oceanfront home to fall into the ocean in less than a week. Coastal erosion over the years has eaten away at our shoreline causing these homes to be oceanfront and now in the ocean. Rodanthe was recently denied for a federal grant for beach re-nourishment. Insurance does not pay out until the homes fall in. Insurance will not pay for the move of the home or tearing down the home or the cleanup of the house once it falls in most flood insurance policies have a max of $250,000 for a total loss. Most of these homeowners have owned their homes for many years when there was plenty of beach and a dune line protecting them from the ocean. Whether it\u2019s an investment property or a family home to enjoy by family and friends, it is still a very sad, disheartening situation for the homeowner and the community of Rodanthe. Not sure what the immediate solution for this problem is, I am hoping my documentary work is going to bring light to the situation and create a change for the better. Polluting our ocean is not the answer. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n
