📰 News we're reading

• Sea level rise starts taking over area farmland, VIMS researchers say (gazettejournal.net) — New research from VIMS and William & Mary warns that sea level rise is already turning thousands of Mid‑Atlantic farmland acres into marsh, with the Gloucester‑Mathews region ranked third most vulnerable. Low‑lying areas like Guinea are seeing saltwater encroach on fields, underscoring long‑term risks for nearby coastal communities such as Gloucester Point that share similar geography and waterways.
