About the event

The falling sea level will affect fishing, ports, shipping areas and where large and small boats can travel. In Greenland we have been measuring the change, mapping the ocean bottom, and meeting with the people to learn where they would like us to map, so we can help Greenland communities plan for the next 50 to 80 years.
