The coastal region of West Bengal in India is under the grip of sea which is rising at a quick rate due to the global warming. The Mousuni Island (22-23 sq km) in the Sunderban delta is one such prominent victim of sea-level-rise; here 3/4th of the island has been gobbled by the sea, leaving the inhabitants homeless. After the massive damage caused by Aila in 2009, the embankments were not repaired; now the vehement tidal forces are gorging upon the land with destructive claws. Saline water expands up to 5-7 kilometer from the sea shore, leaving the soil infertile. Farming has either become limited or completely stopped. As a result, the occupation of the farmers is changing. They have started migrating to South India in search of work. Some people have started fishing. The land will be completely drowned within a few years.
