Smith Island is an island on the Chesapeake Bay, on the border of Maryland and Virginia territorial waters in the United States. The island is the last inhabited island off the shore of Maryland, where most of the islands are eroding because of sea level rise. Smith Island is also experiencing that threat and is expected to erode by 2100. ()
