Fringey Mini - Newfoundland, more like new found erosion · Journey to the Fringe

  we're back to the list we got feeling like a
• 0:02
  tailor mini we got need to know don't pick that
• 0:04
  one because I feel like I'm not prepared for
• 0:07
  it fully yet maybe the need to know one or the
• 0:10
  feeling like a tailor no the need to know one
• 0:12
  we could do feeling like Taylor so we don't really
• 0:15
  need to know yet nope need to know don't pick
• 0:19
  that one I'll tell you when you can pick it zebra
• 0:21
  muscle adjacent Bunkers, whale sad, whales in
• 0:26
  language, extinction adjacent, but I don't think
• 0:29
  it's in the way you would expect. Clingwrap.
• 0:32
  Oh, and 2019 adjacent because it's from 2019.
• 0:35
  I think I want from the Taylor category just
• 0:38
  because I want to know if it's like, oh, Taylor
• 0:40
  will like this or it's like, oh, it's depressing
• 0:42
  like Taylor does. It's like the worst thing you
• 0:44
  could ever think of. Let's see what it is. It's
• 0:47
  from vocm .com local news now. I wonder where
• 0:52
  this is from. It's local, wherever local may
• 0:55
  be. Everything's local, technically. April 14,
• 0:58
  2026, I'm pleasantly surprised. Oh, looking good.
• 1:00
  I know. Maybe that's why it's feeling like a
• 1:03
  Taylor update, because it's recent. OK, archaeologists
• 1:07
  sound the alarm and race the clock as coastal
• 1:10
  erosion threatens historic sites. Oh, yeah, it's
• 1:13
  like a Taylor episode. Exactly. That's why I
• 1:16
  labeled it that, plus it's recent. Environmentalists
• 1:19
  and climatologists have been sounding the alarm
• 1:21
  for years. years, but another group of scientific
• 1:24
  professionals is seeing first -hand the effects
• 1:27
  of a rapidly changing climate. Archaeologists
• 1:30
  at Memorial University have been mapping changes
• 1:33
  to the coastline of an island of historic significance
• 1:36
  off fairyland. A real place you say. F -E -R
• 1:44
  -R -Y -L -A -N -D. We'll have the researchers
• 1:47
  find it for you. I'm talking to the audience.
• 1:50
  Do you think you could google it quick? Their
• 1:52
  findings are alarming. Barry Galton and Kalen
• 1:55
  Brydon says the coastline of Boy's Island has
• 1:58
  changed dramatically since 1951, with more rapid
• 2:02
  coastline erosion having taken place in the last
• 2:05
  20 years. Here I'm looking at a map showing how
• 2:08
  it is receding. It's significant. I'll just say
• 2:11
  that. On the north, south and west coast of the
• 2:14
  island, they found multiple sites where the coastline
• 2:17
  had eroded by more than 10 meters since 1951.
• 2:21
  However, the eastern coast is where the greatest
• 2:23
  concern lies, with an entire area heavily affected
• 2:27
  by erosion. Their findings show that the worst
• 2:30
  affected area saw up to 20 meters of coastline
• 2:33
  loss. Comparing those changes over time showed
• 2:35
  that the erosion rate from 2008 to 2025 was triple
• 2:39
  that of 1951 to 2008. The researchers say the
• 2:44
  coastal erosion will only be exacerbated in future,
• 2:47
  accelerating the loss of important historic artifacts.
• 2:51
  Two cannon have already been lost from their
• 2:53
  original location and several more are under
• 2:56
  threat of being displaced. Galton and Brydon
• 2:58
  suggest that a thorough survey be conducted along
• 3:01
  the perimeter of the island to record concentrations
• 3:03
  of metal objects, followed by test -pitting and
• 3:07
  targeted excavation. That they say would provide
• 3:10
  baseline information on the nature of at -risk
• 3:13
  cultural deposits and identified areas of urgency
• 3:17
  while allowing for future planning. Oh, that
• 3:19
  was the end. That was the end. Oh, okay. Where's
• 3:21
  Fairyland? I'm just looking. Travel Newfoundland
• 3:23
  has a whole very optimistic look at Fairyland.
• 3:27
  Looks very nice. Doesn't mention anything about
• 3:29
  erosion. Is it Canada? I think so. Okay. There's
• 3:33
  a Fairyland in Newfoundland. Okay, and it's an
• 3:35
  island? No. Well, it's part of an island. It's
• 3:37
  on Newfoundland Island. Oh. It might actually
• 3:40
  be its own island. I can't tell. Okay. Well,
• 3:43
  there's also this. It says Bois Island. And I
• 3:48
  don't even know where the local news station
• 3:50
  is that I got this from. Well, Fairyland is like
• 3:53
  the tip of Northeastern. Newfoundland. Okay,
• 3:57
  Boyce Island is Canadian, so it maybe is Newfoundland.
• 4:01
  This is the hard -hitting mini -journalism that
• 4:03
  I think everybody is after. In Newfoundland.
• 4:06
  Yeah, that's what you need to draw from this,
• 4:08
  everybody. It's Newfoundland. Yeah. There you
• 4:10
  go. It's Canada. Oh wow, there's a ton of mini

  like the big island there is like one island,
• 4:17
  but there's a ton. Really? Maybe this is in Newfoundland.
