Cover photo shows a propped-up house surrounded by water. The house, which collapsed into the Chesapeake Bay off the coast of Maryland in October 2010, was the last structure on Holland Island, a once-thriving fishing community. The island was once five miles long and was home to 250 to 360 people. The article illustrates the cover story, which looks at  Maryland’s work to address the impacts of climate change.
