Plum Island is a living laboratory to study the effects of  storms, climate change and sea level rise. This book chronicles the events of 2016 when island residents started turning away from fighting the Atlantic Ocean and the Army Corps of Engineers to working with nature to slow erosion. It tells the engaging story of people lives being transformed by nature, science and our rapidly evolving environment.  This is the third book in a series about the changing face of Plum Island that includes, “Islands in the Storm,” “Plum Island; 4,000 Years on a Barrier Beach” and “Plum Island 2016.”
