This year, about 300 families from Gardi Sugdub are expected to begin moving to a new #community on the #mainland. The #resettlement plan was initiated by the residents there more than a decade ago when they could no longer deny that the island couldn’t accommodate the growing #population. Rising seas and intense storms are only making the predicament more dire.
