Nonesense. Just like any other base of population that is dependent on a
resource, when that resource ceases to exist the population moves on. The
only reason those places were occupied in the first place was because of a
resource. Unless they reinvent themselves with a new reason to exist there,
when the ocean takes the last hut nobody will even need to be there.

Just look at Detroit. It is undergoing a population contraction because the
industries that depended on masses of compliant unionized labor have
diversified the locations throughout the globe.

People have ALWAYS moved to where the food is. Those who fail to move die
out.
