Don't be so silly!

What you need is one giant elastic band, placed round the island to
hold it together.
Then you can start to superglue it.



Or you could build a giant sea wall/dam around the island and pump out all
the water so there's no giant splash if/when the chunk falls off :-)

I like that idea. Imagine the size of the beaches they'd get!
