Journalist Charlie Whitehead can be found sitting in his front yard outside his motor home. The tall man with salt and pepper hair and wide, red suspenders attached to blue jeans has lived in the town of Fort Myers Beach for 40 years. And the yard is on the same lot his grandparents bought back in 1966. The property is surrounded by water with a bay that connects to the Gulf out front, and a manmade saltwater canal out back.

Residents of the barrier island can voluntarily raise their whole property, including garages, driveways and seawalls, using fill dirt when elevating their homes away from rising seas. The sea level around Treasure Island has risen nine inches since the 1940s, when a tidal gauge first started recording the measurements.
