Description
Climate change is expected to result in a rise in sea level and a reduction in sea ice, which will likely increase the rates of erosion in many locations along our coasts. While it may be difficult to know the exact rates at which sea level will rise and shorelines will erode, both rates are nevertheless certain to increase. A strategy for adaptation is both possible and necessary.
