Island nations such as the Maldives and the Pacific Support atolls lie only a few metres above sea level. Increased storm damage will pose the most immediate risk, but ultimately such islands may become completely submerged. [ ENCY 0 MCLH 11/03/2016 ] The Wake Island Rail was a flightless bird endemic to Wake, an atoll in the Pacific Ocean Support . [ PANACEA 3161 0 MCLH 11/03/2016 ] The drop-off zone applies mainly to the reefs surrounding oceanic Support islands and atolls. [ PANACEA 3966 0 MCLH 11/03/2016 ]

Annotated Contexts

• A l-m increase in sea level is projected to cause the loss of 14 % (1,030 ha) of the land mass of Tongatapu island, Tonga, and 80 % (60 ha) of that on Majuro Atoll, Marshall Islands, with consequent changes in overall biodiversity.

• In the case of Majuro atoll in the Marshall Islands and Kiribati, it is estimated that for a 1-m rise in sea level as much as 80 per cent and 12.5 per cent (respectively) of total land would be vulnerable.

• Impacts on highly diverse and productive coastal ecosystems such as coral reefs, atolls and reef islands, salt marshes and mangrove forests will depend upon the rate of sea-level rise relative to growth rates and sediment supply, space for and obstacles to horizontal migration, changes in the climate-ocean environment such as sea surface temperatures and storminess, and pressures from human activities in coastal zones.
