Drowning Cultures

With the specter of global warming and the rising tides, there is little attention being paid to the countries that will be completely submerged and wiped out by just a few extra feet of sea water.

Though most if not all countries will be affected by the rising sea levels, some are doomed to be completely underwater in the event of a rising ocean.

I want to document the people and cultures of those countries that will be wiped off the map due to an overheating planet and the rise of its oceans. I want to bring attention especially to those countries that are out of mind of the privileged west, and to bring renewed efforts and interest to their plight.

Great idea :)
I'm sure many people don't realize that there are in fact countries that are so flat they are basically at sea level thoughout the entire area. I agree that it won't be long before they disappear.
