Heard about Berm-top Barriers and SeaBee Walls? #Tuvalu, the world's fourth smallest country, has low-lying atolls constantly flooded during storms, sea-level rise and high tides. They need land back, and this week @UNDP_Pacific handed 7.3 hectares of reclaimed land to Government, made possible thru these designs and more with #TuvaluCoastalAdaptationProject-II @TCAP4Tuvalu. Thx to funding from @theGCF@dfat@TuvaluGov. And more to come to protect islands Funafuti, Nanumea, Nanumaga, with @ausgov 🇦🇺@NewZealandGov 🇳🇿 support.
