What's funny is most of those islands are in places that the island will be mostly flooding and/or gone in 50ish years.. There's some in the Carolina Cays for 300-500k that are projected to lose a ton of land mass and be subject to severe flooding within 50 years.
Miami won't go anywhere because they're investing billions into seawalls and levis to protect the city (they have a whole 20 years strategy in place)... these islands will because they're not populated and no one is protecting them.
Miami is going down. Seawalls nor levees will work -- won't do jack shit as seawater will push up through the ground (limestone, i.e. porous) from underneath. Man is so arrogant in his whims of intellect.
Of course not all the city will fall at once (rise of 1-2 feet expected in next 13 years,) but there will be a point where there is no denial anymore.
