Los niveles del mar elevados complican este problema, y las islas pequeñas desaparecen.

Está hecha de secciones que se ensamblaron, aseguraron y anclaron cerca de la isla antigua de los charranes en la temporada de anidación. ¿Los charranes regresarán con la isla desaparecida y la nueva isla flotante en su lugar?
