Namibia - Drastic weather forecast forced the inhabitants to adjust to changes.

According to experts in climate change, Namibia is forced to adjust to the drastic weather forecast. The changing of temperature will have a terrific effect on 70 % of the inhabitants in Namibia and this will have a bad impact on the agricultural and fishing sector of the country.

The heavy rainfall has already begun and this year’s overflow level is 8 cms higher than the 2009 flood period.  The affected areas in Namibia are the Cuvelai Basin which is found in the central northern part of Namibia where half of the population lives. Since this natural calamity, 21 school kids died in this flood and extensive damages were caused on roads, buildings and other infrastructures. This alarming situation forced people to move away from their homes and causing an unstable routine.

Namibia financial sector will need to adapt to these changes as this might have a bad effect on the Namibians and the economic zone. The country relied mostly on fisheries, agriculture and eco- tourism.  There will be a high possible increase in poverty, lack of incomes and unemployment if adaptation is not possible which might lead to weakness in families, said Mr. Ephraim Nekongo the chairperson of the Oshana Regional Youth Forum.

Since Monday in the South West of Florida, an awful discovery was made which consists of many aqua lives floating in water.  Few tourists from Naples witness this heart-breaking event and one of them spoke out and said that they couldn’t help out when discovering different interesting marine life on the edges of the coast.

Researchers said that numerous studies will be done on the samples collected and their aim is to work out on what killed the creatures in this area. Biologists stated that maybe the fishes were pushed towards the seashore due to level of stress. Another researcher also highlighted that the large pieces of algae found in collier country can be poisonous for the marine life. Besides, according to the water samples collected analysis clearly shows that the level of oxygen was relatively low which can lead to the death of fishes in water.

No signs of parasites, red tide or diseases were found in the seawater and the creatures from collier country.  Nevertheless, biologists still need to analyse some seawater and dead sharks from the beach, thus leaving a gap in finding the real causes of the dead fishes.
