The fact that Maldives will meet its watery grave in about a century is not surprising, considering that the highest point on this island nation is just 2.4 meters or 7.8 feet above sea level. More importantly, its average height is just 1.5 meters above sea level, which means that a rise of just 1.5 meters in the ocean level will submerge 80 percent of the island.lThe government of Maldives has acknowledged the threat and has started working on the mission to save their land from the encroaching sea, but with a gross domestic product (GDP) of $1.713 billion (according to the report by International Monetary Fund, as of 2008), there is nothing much this island nation can do against the herculean water body.
