FILE- This Feb. 14, 2017 file photo shows Isle de Jean Charles, La. Louisiana officials say residents of the tiny, shrinking island are a step closer to a new home. The Louisiana Office of Community Development said Tuesday, March 20, 2018, that it has started the process of buying a 515-acre tract of high ground near Schriever in northern Terrebonne Parish for $11.7 million. The land will house dozens of Isle de Jean Charles residents whose home has experienced a 98 percent land loss since 1955 as a result of climate change. (Sophia Germer /The Advocate via AP, File)
