Pratap Das, 51, a fisherman, casts a fishing net into the Hooghly River on Ghoramara Island in the Sundarbans, West Bengal, India, May 18, 2024. Researchers say as climate change has forced a rise in sea surface temperatures, seasonal, cyclonic storms barrelling in from the Bay of Bengal have become more fierce and frequent, particularly in the last decade. The island's inhabitants were once predominantly dependent on agriculture, with most families farming rice and betel leaves. But cyclones in 2020 and 2021 flooded the fields with water high in saline, leaving the soil barren. REUTERS/Avijit Ghosh
