  7. Big Island Now: Hawaiʻi County launches an accessible, online coastal zone management atlas. “The atlas includes various data layers and measurement tools that map coastal hazards and ecosystems. For example, one data layer shows areas most susceptible to landslides and indicates when they are more likely to occur.”

  8. CoastTV: New tool lets beachgoers help protect Delaware’s coast . “The technology allows users to upload photos and short reports documenting marine recreation, wildlife sightings and other coastal experiences. The submissions are mapped and then shared with coastal managers, giving decision-makers a clearer picture of how waterways are used and valued across the region.”

  9. How successive #meteotsunami and storm activity disrupts #saltmarsh vegetation

    Clare Lewis, Jonathan Dale, Jessica Neumann, Tim Smyth, Hannah Cloke, October 2025

    Abstract
    "Meteotsunami (#MeteorologicalTsunami) are globally occurring progressive shallow water waves with a period of between 2 and 120 min which result from sudden pressure changes and wind stress due to moving atmospheric systems. These waves are known to cause destruction to and loss of assets. Currently, there is no research into the impact of meteotsunami on #CoastalEcosystems such as saltmarshes, despite the significant role saltmarsh play in providing vital habitats for resident and migrating birds, natural flood defences and climate mitigation. As such the restoration of saltmarshes has emerged as a pivotal focus within the UK Government's environmental policy framework.

    "This paper examines the impact of two meteotsunami events (2016 and 2021) on saltmarsh vegetation in the southwestern #UK. An assessment of the vegetation pre and post event was undertaken using high resolution satellite imagery and the Normalised Difference Vegetation Index (#NDVI). Results revealed that the 2016 meteotsunami exacted minimal vegetation change with a decrease in NDVI from 0.26 to 0.23 and a temporary reduction in coverage of 40%, suggesting a potential resilience to single episodic disturbances. In contrast, the 2021 event, compounded by multiple significant storms and additional meteotsunami, led to a decline in NDVI values from 0.44 to 0.22 and a temporary reduction in vegetation coverage of 66%.

    "Both events indicated a short-term disruption with a relatively rapid rebound (within one to three months). However, the longer-term effects of such a disruption on the saltmarsh ecosystem need to be investigated further.
    This comparative analysis underscores the complex interactions between meteotsunami, climatic phenomena, and coastal vegetation dynamics, highlighting the necessity for ongoing monitoring and research to understand the resilience mechanisms of such ecosystems in the face of increasing #ClimaticVariability and #ExtremeWeather events."

  10. Current models of sea level rise suggest the most widespread impacts will occur after sea level has risen by several meters. But a new study finds the biggest increases in inundation will occur after the first 2 meters (6.6 feet) of sea level rise, covering more than twice as much land as older elevation models predicted. #ClimateCrisis #SeaLevelRise #NASA #coastalareas #sealevel #flooding phys.org/news/2023-01-worst-im
