I work for the Native Land Trust Board as GIS officer and have access to tribal land ownership maps – surveyed from 1907 to 1927…. When comparing these lands on satellite images (google earth) a lot of changes along the coast line and river banks…in rivers, some islands are completely washed out, coastline have given away to sea encroachment…we need to save our lands in the future and those countries who are disturbing the climate through industrial waste should assist us in many ways.

Thank You

- Deforestation …such as illegal logging
- unusual high tides…caused rising seas
- Flash floods and mass erosions causing river mouths to be shallow .

These are some factors which cause these changes to coastline and river banks.

Thanks
