PROJECT IDEA: AASHRAI SARIN

Hey all,                                                        

             I was looking into researching about the Maldive Islands, located in the Indian Ocean. The Maldives are a prominent vacation spot and getaway. Unfortunately, rising sea levels in the future threaten its very existence. The islands are predicted to sink within the next few decades. The idea behind my project is to research the area’s past, why it faces these problems, are there any solutions and possiblities to save the islands, what would become of its citizens, etc.

      Let me know what everyone thinks of my idea. Any comments are good…right??
