How is the country of Tuvalu affected by sea level rise?
Asked by Wiki User
Right now, one immediate concern is storm surge. Because of Tuvalu's lack of high ground, high seas easily wash over the island. In addition to the immediate danger to people, salt contamination of the soil is making it more and more difficult to grow food and because most of Tuvalu is comprised of coral and is very porous, high levels of sea water percolates up through the ground furthering contamination. Also, higher sea temperatures are damaging to fish populations on which the people of Tuvalu depend for food. On the global warming issue, Tuvalu is truly the 'canary in the coalmine', what happens there is a predictor on how well the world is addressing environmental concerns.
