Sinking Islands !!!!!!!!

 Many of these pieces of land are “sinking” and disappearing leaving people in danger with nowhere to escape. One of the most recent examples is the devastation caused by the earthquake in Haiti. This current problem has led over 200,000 people to try/attempt to find shelter in their neighboring land of the Dominican Republic. This one example is a small look into future problems of rising sea levels causing mass migrations. In most Pacific islands, the inhabitants, agricultural land, tourist resorts, and infrastructure are all connected in the coastal zones; in turn leaving them very vulnerable to any rise in sea level. The International Organization for Migration has estimated that in the worst case scenario, as many as 50 million to 350 million people may have to migrate from their island nations to obtain safety

Anjana Koyal: 'I am a student from class seven. The level of the river water is increasing particularly in the night. There are too many mosquitoes, flies, and a bad smell comes from the water. We walk through water up to our necks'.

Bay of Bengal Island Disappeared Underwater | read this item A lot of tremendous things are happening in our planet right now. Earthquakes striking everywhere, unexpected volcanic eruptions which eventually causing our oceans to rise and no wonder sinking islands all the over the globe.

The latter situation has happened recently. An island in the Bay Bengal has been reported to disappear. For India, they call it New Moore Island and for Bangladesh it is the South Talpatti Island. The two countries has been fighting for the island’s ownership for years. It seems that they won’t be fighting for it now because none of them have it. The ocean claimed it. Recent satellite images showed the island to be completely underwater.
