Second: water levels raise, we will have a new coastline, many pollutants found -right now- only in land-based facilities and our ground will be under water, thus further polluting our oceans. Every single pearl farm in the world will be affected, nobody is truly safe.

Hi Douglas,
That's the real scary part isn't it? The rising water levels. And it will happen much faster than previously predicted. Where I presently live, they say the water will rise by 2 feet. I will have to escape to P.E.Island where my shack there has been built on 4 foot stilts. I'll be safe for a while......hmmm, of course, the island itself will be a lot smaller. Maybe retreating to an island is not the brightest of ideas. I'll have to get a peice of land in Nunavut or Nunavik or somewhere. Greenland!
It's not an imaginary doomsday scenario as many think. It's reality. Pearl farming will be the least of our worries.
