PPT-Chapter 8 | Coastal Effects

Key Message 1 8 Ch 8 Coastal Effects Americas trilliondollar coastal property market and public infrastructure are threatened by the ongoing increase in the frequency depth and extent of tidal flooding due to sea level rise with cascading impacts to the larger economy Higher storm surges due to sea level rise and the increased probability of heavy precipitation events exacerbate the risk Under a higher scenario RCP85 many coastal communities will be transformed by the latter part of this century and even under lower scenarios RCP45 or RCP26 many individuals and communities will suffer financial impacts as chronic high tide flooding leads to higher costs and lower property values Actions to plan for and adapt to more frequent widespread and severe coastal flooding would decrease direct losses and cascading economic impacts .

With over four billion people living in coastal areas and the numbers growing rapidly each year, the need to understand and manage these areas is critical. Coastal areas are one of the most dynamic environments on the earth and area being constantly re-shaped by both natural processes and human development. They have both economic and environmental value – and it is these conflicting demands that bring about the need for long-term, sustainable management strategies.. Coastal Plains. Coastal plains are a geologic feature found around the world and . on both the eastern and western coasts of India. .. Coastal plains are characterized by an area of flat low lying land that is situated adjacent to a water body often a sea or . Key Idea 2.8 . Lesson 1 of 2. Coastal Retreat. Lesson Objectives.
