What are the effects of Global Warming on Mauritius?

Answer 1

The effects of global warming and climate change will have a serious effect on Mauritius. The warming of the Indian ocean will bleach and kill the coral reefs located around the island. The coral reefs are one of the tourist attractions of Mauritius. There is also the likelihood of increased flooding of low-lying parts of the country, especially around Grand Baie.

This is leading to coastal erosion, coral bleaching, and threats to wildlife and ecosystems on the island. Additionally, there are concerns about the impact on agriculture and water resources due to changing weather patterns.
