A Family's History Sliding into Oblivion Renald Guignard's family has lived on Lamèque island for seven generations.
Their house, once a testament to tradition and continuity, now teeters on the edge of disaster due to climate change. The shoreline behind the Guignards' house has receded by over 143 meters in just 50 years.
The rate of erosion is alarming: an estimated 7 meters lost to the sea every year. Without ice protection, the waves pummel the shore relentlessly.
