BBC World Service - BBC OS Conversations, Climate: Changing seas

We hear from people the in the countries affected by sea level rise

As world leaders, scientists and activists prepare for the UN climate change conference in Scotland, host Nuala McGovern hears how sea level rise is affecting islands in the Caribbean Sea, the Atlantic and Pacific Ocean. 

People from the Bahamas, the US Florida Keys and a beach restaurant owner in Jamaica share their experiences of disappearing landscapes and their concerns for the future. The former president of the Marshall Islands also shares a personal perspective. 

We hear too from a fisheries scientist in Cape Town, South Africa, and a commercial fisherman in North Carolina in the US, who share how changes in water temperatures are disrupting the types of fish they can catch and the economics of fishing communities.
