water intrusion into our islands is causing our crops to die and our freshwater to be contaminated. Slowly and surely we are losing our food and our freshwater. Inch by inch‚ centimeter by centimeter our islands are being washed away by the rising tide. It is for the urgent addressing of these serious threats that the upcoming Mauritius International Meeting on the BPOA for SIDS is extremely important. In the Pacific we are witnessing the slow but steady die-off of our coral due to increasing

com/teacherresources/whats-good-and-whats-bad-about-hydropower/ However unlike hydroelectric dams‚ which harvest power by installing an artificial obstruction in a flowing waterway‚ wave and tidal energy devices simply use the power of the ocean waves and/or rising and falling tides. It is another clean and sustainable source of energy that has barely been put to work to power the planet. Some energy experts consider ocean power to be where wind power was twenty years ago. It’s the “wave” of the future. Waves are formed when
