What is erosion, and how does it relate to sea level rise?

• Erosion is the buildup of land; it decreases sea levels.

• Erosion is the wearing away of land; it can contribute to sea level rise.

• Erosion is the planting of trees; it stabilizes sea levels.

• Recycling and reducing plastic use

• Ignoring the problem

How can communities adapt to the effects of sea level rise?

• Building higher sea walls

• Increasing plastic waste

• Overfishing

• Ignoring climate change

What happens to marine animals when they become entangled in plastic waste?

• They are protected from predators

• They can become injured or die

• They use it as a habitat

• They adapt and thrive

Which of the following is a tangible way to combat overfishing?
