Along the edge of every continent and island, there's coast--the margin where the land meets the sea.

Some coastlines have sea cliffs or beaches of fine white sand. Others have mangrove tree forests or frozen rocks and soil. Coasts can be battered by giant waves or protected by coral reefs. The world has hundreds of thousands of miles of coastlines. So it's no wonder there's such a huge variety!

Lots of people live near the ocean and face destructive storms and rising sea levels. But what does sea level rise really mean? Splash into coastlines around the world and learn how climate change affects these regions. It's high tide--er, time--to find out more!
