In 1986, the New York Times predicted the Gulf and Atlantic coasts of the US would lose between 100 and 1,000 feet of shoreline by 2026.
“MANY scientists are so sure that the sea level will rise visibly in the coming decades that they are advising planners to adopt new strategies now. A predicted rise in sea level of one foot within the next 30 to 40 years will drive much of the Atlantic and Gulf shoreline inward by a hundred feet and some of it by more than a thousand feet, according to marine geologists.”
