If we don't do something now, places like Steveston, which is in danger of losing itself within the next couple of days—you could look at it in that way—and places like the rest of these coastal communities, who will look upon what will happen to Steveston as being the blueprint for what may happen to them, will go by the wayside and will become extinct.
Si nous ne faisons pas quelque chose maintenant, des villes comme Steveston, qui risque de disparaître d'ici quelques jours—on pourrait voir les choses ainsi—et d'autres localités côtières, qui considèreront que ce qui arrive à Steveston leur arrivera probablement aussi, vont graduellement disparaître, iront vers l'extinction.
