'We're worried about it all the time' - heartbroken elderly couple face losing their ancestral home to erosion
Briefly

"If I can't do it this year, it will be gone," Mr. Pierce stated, highlighting the urgency and despair as he contemplates additional measures to protect his family home.
Professor Conor Murphy stated, "Coastal erosion has always happened, but there has been a notable increase in the rate over the past decades due to climate change factors."
Ms. Pierce reflected on her memories of enjoying quiet moments by the sand dunes, asserting, "We'd be worried about it all the time," underscoring the emotional toll of their changing environment.
