Sammanförde

Sammanförde is a former island located in the Baltic Sea, situated in the northern part of Sweden. It was one of several islands in the Hanö bay, which is a part of the Blekinge archipelago. The island is now part of the municipality of Trelleborg.

Historically, Sammanförde was subject to erosion and as a result, its size and shape changed over time. The island was home to several farms and inhabitants, who engaged in fishing and agriculture. However, the island's coastline became increasingly unstable due to the action of waves and currents.

In the 20th century, the island suffered significant erosion, and by the 1950s, most of the island had disappeared. The remains of the island's coast were gradually absorbed into the surrounding landmass. Today, the area that was once Sammanförde is a sandy beach, and no permanent human settlements remain.

As with many other islands in the Baltic Sea, Sammanförde's disappearance is attributed to a combination of natural and human-induced factors. Rising sea levels, changes in ocean currents, and erosion caused by human activities such as coastal development and excavation contributed to the island's decline. The loss of Sammanförde serves as a reminder of the ongoing process of coastal erosion and the need for sustainable management of coastal environments.
