On the day before the King Tide, pools of water collect in the north end of Funafuti's runway as people go about their end of the day tasks, such as feeding the pigs, many of which are housed in pens on the ocean side of the runway.
I am a Fulbright grantee for 2010/11 in Tuvalu, a small nation in the South Pacific working on a photo documentary project entitled “Living in the Shadow of Climate Change: Documenting Tuvalu’s Uncertain Future.” The project aims to look at the implications for, and everyday life of communities and families of a nation that is predicted to be unlivable in 50 years due to rising sea levels caused by climate change.
