Introduction
The world’s oceans play a crucial role in regulating the Earth’s climate and supporting a wide range of ecosystems. Coastal ecosystems, in particular, are highly vulnerable to the impacts of sea level fluctuations caused by climate change. The rise in global sea levels is primarily attributed to the melting of polar ice caps and glaciers, as well as the thermal expansion of seawater due to rising temperatures. These changes have significant implications for coastal ecosystems, including increased coastal erosion, loss of habitat, and changes in biodiversity.
This project aims to investigate the effect of sea level fluctuations on coastal ecosystems. By examining the various factors contributing to sea level rise and their impacts on coastal ecosystems, this study seeks to provide valuable insights into the potential challenges and opportunities for coastal management and conservation efforts.

Project Research Overview
The effect of sea level fluctuations on coastal ecosystems is a critical issue that requires urgent attention. The rise in global sea levels poses a significant threat to coastal ecosystems, including mangrove forests, coral reefs, and estuaries. These ecosystems provide essential services, such as coastal protection, habitat for marine life, and carbon sequestration.
This project will explore the impact of sea level fluctuations on coastal ecosystems through a comprehensive review of existing literature, case studies, and research methodologies. By examining the various factors contributing to sea level rise and their implications for coastal ecosystems, this study aims to contribute to the growing body of knowledge on climate change impacts and adaptation strategies.
Through this project, we hope to raise awareness of the challenges faced by coastal ecosystems and provide valuable insights for policymakers, researchers, and stakeholders working towards the conservation and sustainable management of coastal resources. Our findings will help inform future research efforts, policy development, and community engagement initiatives aimed at addressing the impacts of sea level fluctuations on coastal ecosystems.
