Rising seas eat away at Honduran fishing village


Cedeño (Honduras) (AFP) – The coastline of Cedeno, a fishing village in southern Honduras, looks like it was hit by an earthquake – houses, businesses and clubs stand in ruins. But it was not a tremor, nor a tsunami. A much slower, but equally destructive force is at work in Cedeno and other villages on the Pacific Gulf of Fonseca: sea level rise, as climate change threatens the region’s coastal villages.
