he beach is disappearing in Grenville, Grenada and coastal communities around the world face a similar situation. As sea level rises, the waters cover reefs that were once tall enough to block some of the wave energy, protecting the shore from erosion. The aim of this project is to demonstrate that governments and communities of small island states can enhance their resilience to climate change by protecting, restoring and effectively managing their marine and coastal ecosystems, and strengthening local capacity for adaptation. T Between the rising water and the waves pounding the shore at full force, sands wash away and even coastal plants like mangroves can be killed as the soil disappears from under them. The people of Grenville, with the help of the Nature Conservancy and partner organizations, are fighting back.
