“We thought everything was going to be OK, but it’s getting very hard.” The first island David Tebaubau moved to 14 years ago has already disappeared, drowned by heaving currents and rising seas. “It used to be right there,” he said, pointing to what looked like more ocean. The spit of earth he currently occupies in a remote stretch of the South Pacific is half the size it was when he arrived 5 years ago. Precarious and precious, life here is lovely, but also akin to living in a bathtub with warm water pouring in and no drain to let it out. It’s what you see in many parts of the #SolomonIslands, a struggling, stunning country of around 900 islands and 570,000 people. At mid-tide, David’s island is 24 steps across at its widest point, 58 steps long. (That’s by our reporter @damiencave’s count.) At high tide it’s even smaller, leaving just enough room for David’s family and a few tons of the seaweed they grow offshore. It’s that #seaweed that keeps them here. The shallows near the island are perfect for a wiry breed that’s exported across Asia. And David, 50, is especially adept at its cultivation. To the neighboring farmers, he is not just a recluse. He is The Seaweed King. At least for as long as he has a kingdom. @adamfergusonphoto took this photo of David while on #nytassignment. Visit the link in our profile to learn more.
