Even though the Republic of Maldives prides itself on being an excellent tourist destination, the problem continues to worsen. The islands are threatened by constant changes in sea levels as they rise. If sea levels continue to rise, it could potentially destroy the islands and cause them to cease to exist, leading to the displacement of many of the residents who inhabit them. The Maldives is a low-lying island nation located roughly at the equator in India. Ocean (Khan et al. 2002). Khan (2002) describes the size of the island saying that the total area of ​​these islands is only 300 square km with a maximum height of about 3 meters above sea level. Even the smallest Sea level rise, such as a 1 m rise in sea level, could have disastrous effects on the Maldives (Khan et al. 2002). The Republic of Maldives consists of approximately 1,190 small islands (Khan et al. 2002).
