Young scientists examine how even a small rise in sea level can lead to salinisation of valuable agricultural land. First, everyone takes part in a simple demonstration that shows the negative effects of saltwater on plants. Peer groups develop ways to mitigate the effects of salinisation and prevent rising sea levels from devastating coastal farms.
