The low lying coast of Bangladesh is burdened with natural weather patterns that bring storm surges, heavy rainfall, and intense flooding. As sea level rises and greater coastal erosion is predicted, long term solutions to maintaining low lying areas must be investigated. Researchers at the Institute of Marine Science and Fisheries in Bangladesh, in collaboration […]
