Some of P.E.I.'s oldest cemeteries are slowly being lost to the sea

Coastal erosion is threatening some of Prince Edward Island’s most historic cemeteries, which date back over two centuries, as the sea steadily claims the land beneath them. This erosion not only endangers these burial grounds but also the island’s rich heritage and the stories of its early settlers. The situation highlights the broader impacts of climate change on coastal communities and the urgent need to protect these irreplaceable historical sites. It's a poignant reminder of how natural forces are reshaping our landscape and the importance of safeguarding our cultural legacy.
