But what if rising sea levels could help build, rather than destroy coral reef islands? And what if a small plant, perceived as a nuisance by many, could be a crucial part of the mechanism that helps maintain these islands into the future? These are the questions on Dr Holly East’s mind as she travels from the U.K. to the Maldives. Taking a camera and a drone along, she and her fellow researcher Dr Jamie Johnson, have recorded their findings during their stay on the remote islands.
Dr Holly East is a senior lecturer at Northumbria University, and her research was funded by the British Society for Geomorphology, NERC and Northumbria University. Video courtesy of Holly East and Jamie Johnson.
