Answer:

The Bahamas comes in the top ten countries, which are most susceptible to the influences of climate change, comprising the loss of coastal lands because of the rise in the sea level.

Due to this, the coral reefs in the Bahamas are also getting affected, and the scientists are not finding a diverse population of the organisms found on the coral reef there. Some of the factors, which are resulting in the issue are as follows:

1. Habitat destruction primarily because of coastal development.

2. Change in climate, mainly human-induced.

3. Over-fishing, comprising both foreign and domestic poaching.

4. Pollution and the introduction of invasive species.

5. Trading of endangered species.
