The only answer to rising seas is to retreat 

on

There is no conceivable way to get around the fact that we eventually will have to retreat. There are several ways to retreat, including buying out homes in low-lying, flood-prone areas and returning those areas to a more natural state; demolishing or moving buildings; and not rebuilding storm-damaged buildings. Simply fleeing from the beach by moving buildings one by one away from immediate danger won’t be enough. Planning should include keeping a community as intact as possible. Individual responses won’t maintain the recreational value of the beach and the all-important tourist industry.
