NEWS: Coastal wetlands are unable to adapt to the rate of sea-level rise and are constrained by infrastructure
Wetlands, precious ecosystems that shield coastlines, safeguard drinking water from saltwater contamination, and nourish diverse wildlife, face a dire threat from the accelerating pace of sea-level rise, driven by global warming. Wetlands have historically adapted to rising sea levels by expanding upward and inland. However, predictions indicate that the waterline will soon shift far too rapidly for wetlands to keep pace. Consequently, future decades may witness the tragic loss of these vital wetland ecosystems. Wetlands along coastlines have historically played valuable roles for people and wildlife, but are now facing the threat of sea-level rise. As temperatures rise, sea levels are rising at an accelerating rate, and wetlands are unable to keep pace by building upward and migrating inland. This is due to human-induced climate change and the burning of fossil fuels, which has warmed the oceans and melted glaciers. Sea levels are now rising at about 10 millimeters per year, and are

I really enjoyed reading this, I have always wanted to register as a Candidate Quantity Surveyor but really struggled because at the time I only had a National Diploma in Building . This was a challenge for me as I did not have a Professional Quantity Surveyor who was willing to mentor me in order for this to be possible. However I am happy that I will finally be getting my Btech in Quantity Survey and this should make things a lot easier. I suppose then after I will have to search hard for a Professional Quantity Surveyor to mentor me for me to go further in this Journey.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for the feedback. I am really happy for you that you will now be able to register as a candidate and take your career to the next level. Where are you based and perhaps we can see how we can link you to a mentor.
