Year 10 last week were looking at coastal flooding and as part of their understanding have to have detailed knowledge of the social, economic and enviromental impact of coastal flooding in regards to a case study. The case study we use is the Maldives in the India Ocean and it just so happened that the Sunday night before I happened to watch the BBC2 programme 'Indian Ocean with Simon Reeve' episode 4 - Oman to the Maldives. The second half of this programme (forward to around 31mins to start the Maldives section) described many of the effects we have looked at and gives many more interesting facts too, including the island that they use as a dumping ground which is very different to the idyllic scene the tourists see!
You can watch this on the BBC iplayer at

He has a blog and website that is quite interesting too - links to these can be found on the iplayer page above and the programme website is below:
