A study has projected that sea levels will rise around Lakshadweep Islands between 0.4 mm per year to 0.9 mm per year due to the impact of global warming. The study said the gradual rise in sea levels at the Lakshadweep Islands will affect airport and residential areas that are quite close to the present coastline.
A team of scientists studied the climate projections of sea-level rise and associated coastal inundation on the island. The team has projected smaller islands Chetlat and Amini are expected to have a major land loss.
Projection mapping indicated that about 60-70% of existing shorelines would experience land loss in Amini and about 70-80% in Chetlat.
