33. Rising sea level would destroy weak parts of the sand belt, which
is essential for the protection of lagoons and the low-lying reclaimed
lands. The impacts would be very serious: One third of Egypt's fish
catches are made in the lagoons. Sea level rise would change the water
quality and affect most fresh water fish. Valuable agricultural land
would be innundated. Vital, low-lying installations in Alexandria and
Port Said would be threatened. Recreational tourism beach facilities
would be endangered and essential groundwater would be salinated.
Dykes and protective measurements would probably prevent the worst
flooding up to a 50 cm sea level rise. However, it would cause serious
groundwater salination and the impact of increasing wave action would
be serious.
