Bahrain was once a beautiful island in the Persian Gulf. Due to much abuse from humans, Bahrain has suffered a massive amount of coastal erosion. Due to rising sea levels, Bahrain lost over half of its already small land mass. Due to most of the countries population being located near the coast, the country had to rebuild and move closer into the center of the island. This impacted the economy in a serious way. The shifting of the climate over time affected the water supply, causing many Bahraini citizens to have to go without water for extended periods of time. What was once a beautiful island is now devastated due to global warming. Most of the population had to flee to the mainland to survive.
