The Maldives' government held an underwater cabinet meeting on Saturday in a bid to focus global attention on rising sea levels that threaten to submerge the low-lying atoll nation.
President Mohamed Nasheed plunged first into the Indian Ocean followed by his ministers, all clad in scuba gear, for the nationally televised meeting in this archipelago known as an idyllic holiday getaway for the rich.

Hi! You have a nice blog Thanks for sharing.
By the turn of this century many of the world’s islands and coast lines would have changed or disappeared altogether, placing at risk millions of people that lives and depends upon the coast. Whilst changes in sea level have occurred over the long geological history of the planet, recent global observations indicate that the rising sea-levels will dramatically transform many island nations and coastal states.
Wishing you well.
