| Description | MANAMA, Bahrain - Man-made islands shaped like palm trees and a map of the world are already rising above the turquoise Persian Gulf, and Bahrain said Wednesday it wants to join the craze by building an island of its own — in the shape of a sea horse.
The tiny country — an island itself — says it wants to spend $3 billion to reclaim a nine-square-mile island off its northeast coast.
But the plan is already raising concerns it will bury a coral reef and cause other damage to the fragile marine environment, which supports a wide variety of species — including sea horses.
