Impacts of Sea Level Rise on Majuro

Clara Zacias was born 1962 and has 4 children. She says that sea water comes into her backyard and sometimes her washing disappears out to sea. She is losing 10 feet of her shore line every year due to the erosion. She is very worried for the future of her children. Throughout the Marshall Islands the land lies only inches above sea level. Rising sea levels pose a very high risk to the communities in the region. Families are already being evacuated from their houses due to erosion and salination of agricultural land and wells.
