The Assateague State Park has decided to end the use of 8 of its campgrounds.
The reason: Sea Level Rise.
The Salisbury Daily Times reports that it is part of the Campground Improvement Project -- an effort to boost the sustainability of the coastal barrier island.
The paper reports that five camp loop roads will be shifted 20 to 100 feet to the west.
That will mean 18 campsites will be moved inland while the other 8 will be closed.
The plan will require approval by the Critical Area Commission before it moves forward.
