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 . Marine Debris:. Ingestion By Birds. Plastics do not biodegrade or mineralize (go away), but they do photo-degrade when exposed to sunlight, breaking down into smaller and smaller pieces that can be consumed by birds and other animals. . Coastal environments are one of the most dynamic and fragile environments on earth. Consequently managing them requires a detailed understanding of both natural and human influences. With over 4 billion people living worldwide living within 40km of the coast, an ever-increasing demand for coastal leisure activities and the threat of increasing sea levels, the challenge is to find sustainable ways of managing the frontier between land and sea which offers protection from the forces of nature whilst being sensitive to the needs of the environment.. Tsunamis. Homework Questions. Would you live in an area at risk for tsunamis? If so, where?. What level of risk from tsunamis is acceptable to you? (How would you know if the risk was assessed accurately?). Coastal environments are one of the most dynamic and fragile environments on earth. Consequently managing them requires a detailed understanding of both natural and human influences. With over 4 billion people living worldwide living within 40km of the coast, an ever-increasing demand for coastal leisure activities and the threat of increasing sea levels, the challenge is to find sustainable ways of managing the frontier between land and sea which offers protection from the forces of nature whilst being sensitive to the needs of the environment..
