People are concerned about the risks. The fisherman, they know that they can lose their houses any moment any winter. Some actions should be done even if it includes relocation…the decision is political, because you can preserve the houses with nourishment that will avoid the sea to reach the houses, keeping the houses in place. Or you can relocate all the houses and let the island to evolve moving the fisherman to a place with easy access to the sea and to the river. It is completely a political decision, much more than scientific decision.
