Scientists have been telling us for some time that much of what we do in our every-day lives creates gases that trap heat in the atmosphere. That leads to rising temperatures globally, melting ice caps and rising sea levels that threaten coastal communities. And the low lying Chesapeake Bay region is particularly vulnerable. Already, islands that once appeared on navigational charts have disappeared. And scientists predict Smith and Tangier islands could be next. Now, some coastal communities are trying to stem that tide.In this series, Life at Sea Level: Living with climate change on the Chesapeake Bay, correspondent Pamela D’Angelo travels round the bay to hear from different waterfront communities about potential solutions.

Find Q & As below. How to vote: In response to the coronavirus pandemic, the presidential primary was moved from April 28 to June 2. (That’s why mailed ballots have an April date. You can ignore the date and mail your ballot in as usual.) The primary will be conducted mainly through mail-in ballots, although there will be a small number of polling centers open for those unable to vote by mail. Voters can also return ballots to drop-off boxes around the city. Eligible voters should’ve received a ballot in the mail by May 23. Any eligible voter that did not receive a ballot should submit a ballot request to [email protected] or call 1-800-222-8683. Mailed ballots include a return envelope and prepaid postage. Ballots must be postmarked on or before June 2. To register to vote or request an absentee ballot, click here. Look up your voter information here.
