When Houses Fall Into The Sea (unpublished)
Coastal erosion over the last few decades has rised
rapidly along Georgia's Black Sea coast, which disappears
into the ocean up to 17 meters per year. In the past 80
years the coast has been moved 400 metres back in some
places, and nearly 50 families in two rows of houses have
seen their houses fall into the sea. Nowadays the beach
is drowned with leached building materials, that
authorities use to prevent a massive sea erosion. The
world's coastal areas are increasingly feeling the
pressure from the combination of rising sea levels and
wilder weather. Adlia, Batumi, Georgia.
