Shoreline responses to global (eustatic) sea-level change are such a complex balance of competing factors, including many that are defined on a regional scale. What will this mean for conserving avian habitats? Shore birds depend on a very specific environment to thrive. Slight changes in water currents and water depth could eradicate or displace the feeding and breeding grounds of millions of birds, making the fight to preserve habitat for the shifting populations of wildlife even more complicated in this age of greed. |
