Summary
Prince Edward Island’s ancient cemeteries, some over 200 years old, are vanishing into the sea as coastal erosion accelerates. Sites like Panmure Island and St. Andrew’s Point—established by early Scottish settlers—are crumbling, prompting emergency measures: a “living shoreline” of bayberries and hay bales at one site, and a sandstone wall at another. But officials admit these efforts are only temporary, untested against storms like Fiona. With rising seas and stronger waves, protecting these historic burial grounds is an uphill battle, and relocation may be unavoidable. The province is monitoring vulnerable sites closely and urging the public to report any storm-related discoveries to help preserve the island’s fading heritage.
