Venice Is Sinking

Venice is an island in Italy,Europe . It is sinking because of the polar ice caps melting and the sea level rising. Water level will rise 8 inches in 50 years. Foundations are unstable and as a result buildings are tilting. Venetians are trying to stop the flooding by building underwater gates. The plan might backfire as it might harm underwater life.
