Disappearing

The BBC has a video by Anna Bressanin and Jack Garland about Louisiana, sinking:

The American state of Louisiana is slowly disappearing into the Gulf of Mexico as its fragile wetlands are eroded by rising sea levels.
Approximately seventy-five square kilometers are lost each year, and the US Geological Survey has warned that the entire habitat, which represents forty percent of all wetlands in the US, could be destroyed within two hundred years.
The loss is partly down to natural evolutionary processes, but experts say human behavior, including dredging for canals and the draining of the wetlands for development and agriculture, has made the region more vulnerable to storm surges.
Some communities still live on the remote network of islands deep in the bayous in south Louisiana, but now their livelihoods, and their very way of life, are under threat from the water.
