Sea Level Rise in the Sundarbans

The Rainbow Warrior is currently docked at the Sundarbans river delta region, an area which is particularly ecologically sensitive. The crew plant mangroves with the local people. These will help to protect the coast from erosion and will also provide nutrients for fish and capture carbon in their environment.
