Other Less Effective Solutions to Sea Level Rise:
Build Seawalls: South Carolina’s solution is currently to build seawalls to protect beachfront homes. However, coastal protection experts claim that the walls will ultimately do nothing to protect the beach or the homes. This is a short term solution that actually causes beaches to disappear and is very costly. (Atkin, 2014)
Adaption: build homes farther away from the coast and low lying areas. This solution is a last result and first priority should be to stop global warming so this does not have to be done. (Atkin, 2014)
