INDIALANTIC, FLORIDA - AUGUST 31: A man stands in the water at Indialantic Beach on August 31, 2019 in Indialantic, Florida. Despite the holiday weekend, few people gathered at Indialantic Beach as the area hunkers down in preparation for Hurricane Dorian. Dorian, once expected to make landfall near Indialantic as a category 4 storm, is currently expected to turn north and stay off of the Florida coast, lessening the impact on the area.

TERREBONNE PARISH, LA - AUGUST 28: A dead alligator sits in the boat after being hunted in bayou waters in Terrebonne Parish near Houma, Louisiana on August 28, 2019. Wednesday is the first day of Louisiana's alligator hunting season, which runs for only 30 days. According to researchers at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Louisiana's combination of rising waters and sinking land give it one of the highest rates of relative sea level rise on the planet. Since the 1930s, Louisiana has lost over 2,000 square miles of land and wetlands, an area roughly the size of Delaware. In the past 30 years, as subsidence continues and the effects of climate change increase, Louisiana has been losing its coastal landscape at the rate of almost a football fields worth of land every hour.
