Waves crash near a rental house at Dauphin Island West End Beach, Jan. 3, 2023, in Dauphin Island, Alabama. The barrier island is home to 1,238 year-round residents and attracts tourists from around the world who come to birdwatch, swim, and enjoy the beach. The area has been affected by numerous tropical storms and hurricanes. Many of the most expensive vacation homes and rental houses are built on the vulnerable west end, which is virtually flat and unprotected by dunes. Erosion, storms, and sea-level rise are constant concerns. (Photo by Carmen K. Sisson/Cloudybright)
