A rising ocean level. A foundation can be seen under the water behind and to the right of the boy. L1008119.jpg

The owner of the home stated that when the house was built, all of the foundation was above water. He has noted that since 1980, he observed a continuing rise in the sea level as verified by existing structures.

It seems there is a lot of talk by the legislators on Pohnpei but not much action and on the level of the sea rising, which most know of now, all that can be done is move to higher ground, if you have it available. What else can you do?

Is the sea level rising or are we sinking due to erosion because of heavy rain in Pohnpei? What is the normal sea level in Pohnpei? When do we we see significant changes in sea level throughout the year? What adaptation methods do we implement to help us during abnormality of sea level? Which office i contact to help me prepare? We know there is changes in sea level.. Who do I ask for help??
