Low-lying island ecosystems are particularly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change, including rising sea levels and increased frequency and intensity of disturbance events such as storms, hurricanes, and flooding Intergovernmental Plans on Climate Change (IPCC, 2019]. The proposed research paper aims to investigate the impact of sea-level rise and disturbance on low-island ecosystems, and the challenges of managing biodiversity in the face of these changes. The paper includes an introduction that provides background information, research questions, and hypotheses, followed by a literature review that examines the impacts of sea-level rise and disturbance on low-island ecosystems, challenges faced by biodiversity management, and current conservation strategies. The methodology section describes the study site, data collection methods, data analysis, and limitations of the study. The results section presents the findings of the study, discusses the challenges faced by biodiversity management, and evaluates current conservation strategies. The conclusion summarizes the findings, discusses their implications for biodiversity management on low-island ecosystems, and provides recommendations for future research.
