The following examples are real-life instances showing why the correct Delta Island names need to be used consistently:

Soils tests and seismic data: Examples of Scientist and/or research papers listing soils samples at "Ryer Island" when the samples were really taken on Long Point Island, based on the latitude and longitude data also provided with the soils samples.
Earthquake maps: Comparing maps using the island names and island actual physical locations locations
Flood maps: Comparing maps using the island names and island actual physical locations
Agency reports: Governmental agencies unintentionally using date from one "Ryer Island" to produce incorrect reports about the REAL Ryer Island
Emergency and rescue: Unless the rescue personnel knows the real Ryer Island location, they may use Google or other GPS to go to "Ryer Island" and be sent to the wrong one. It happens! Effects on residents and owners of Ryer Island homes, farms and businesses:
