- 199 islands out of 1190 ate uninhabited and uninhabitable.
- 20% is above 1.5M above sea level
- lack of fresh water caused by contamination of salt water due to costal flooding
- alternative sources of fresh water needed wich cost money e.g. Rain water harvesting
- costal defences need such as the a sea wall 
- Maldivian government borrowed $60 million form Japanese they are now is debt 
- loss of soil due to coastal flooding leads to farming issues and possible food shortages due to costal flooding that washes aways the soil.
-solid loss can damage can local fauna and flora.

The have high salt tolerance and deep long roots to deal with strong pravaling winds. E.g. Sandwart  and sea crouch.
- yellow dunes are also mobile and sand built up, they have a hug salt tolerance and thrive on being buried by sand, they also have long roots . They have enrolled leaves to reduce water loss. E.g. Ragwort and Sadie sedge.
- grey dunes are fixed in place, closed vegetation and no sand. They have high species diversity and marrow grass becomes more sparse. E.g perennials
- dune slack are fixed and soil acidic, close to the water table and low lying. They are moisture loving found in wetland areas e.g. Rushes and bog cotton.
- Heath/woodland are fixed soil acidic nutrient rich. Human interference mean that mixed woodland is hardly seen. E.g.

- needs conserving as it supports rare birds and has 1000 hectares of wild flower.
-can plant marrow grass and fencing areas of to limit access to dunes. Marrow grass stablises the dunes and encourages vegetation to grow.
-!cars not allowed into the beach and there are limited car oar I spaces to stop damage to marrow grass and to reduce errosion
- board walks installed to encouage people to walk on them and not the dunes , reduces damage to wild life 
- jest skis and speed boats not allowed on/near the beach and are limited to 5mph in the area. Noise is limated  and dance to wildlife and nesting brides is reduced.
-no dogs are allow on middle and knoll beach during July to September to reduce disturbance to nesting and breadding  birds]]> 2016-05-12 08:07:40 UTC https://padlet.com/ldobbe1/Costalzones_casestudies/wish/110493687 ldobbe1 https://padlet.com/ldobbe1/Costalzones_casestudies/wish/110530885 - stronger pravaling winds lead to increase levels of longshore drift  
- cliff made of easily erroded soft rock 
-spits form
-80000m squared of farmland lost
- being eroded at a rapid pace of 10 meters per year
- home in danger of cliff collapse 
- can't sell Homes for a lot of money or get insurance
- property prices decline
- tourist destinations on the coast such as caravan parks have to be moved back witch cost owners lots of money
- people who leave homes have to pay demolishion of thier homes
