“🌊 Sea-Level Rise Is More Than a Rising Waterline
One thing [the H/T has] noticed… is how much more NOAA data is now being maintained, organized, and made accessible for analysis…
That matters when we look at sea-level rise.
Modern sea-level mapping is moving beyond simply adding one, three, or six feet of water to a coastline. Current science considers multiple interacting processes, including ocean warming, ice-sheet and glacier loss, regional ocean circulation, vertical land movement, tides, storm surge, and local terrain.
The NOAA Sea Level Rise Viewer brings many of these concepts together spatially, allowing users to examine potential inundation under different scenarios.
For [them], the larger GIS lesson is that the value is not necessarily in finding one perfect map. It is in having enough maintained, interoperable data to build a more complete understanding of the system.
Sea-level rise can therefore be viewed as a geospatial system of evidence connecting observations, projections, elevation, tidal conditions, hydraulic connectivity, flooding frequency, and uncertainty.
The more [they] work with these datasets, the more [the H/T] see[s] GIS shifting from simply making maps toward integrating continually expanding bodies of scientific evidence into a spatial model of change…”

“This online visualization tool supports communities that are assessing their coastal hazard risks and vulnerabilities. The tool creates a collection of user-defined maps that show the people, places, and natural resources exposed to coastal flooding. The maps can be saved, downloaded, or shared to communicate flood exposure and potential impacts. In addition, the tool provides guidance for using these maps to engage community members and stakeholders. The current geography includes the East Coast, West Coast, Gulf of America, Great Lakes, and islands in the Pacific and Caribbean.
FEATURES:
• Visualize people, places, and natural resources exposed to coastal flood hazards
• Share online maps to communicate with and engage stakeholders…”

“[The authors] new study in the Plum Island Estuary (MA) incorporates future sea-level rise uncertainty and DEM bias correction to expose non-linear tipping points before resilient marsh platforms shift into rapid drowning. By synthesizing these simulations into a "marsh fate" map, [they] provide coastal managers with a practical tool to identify resilient core habitats, prioritize vulnerable intervention zones, and secure future migration corridors for targeted restoration…”

Defence Bolsters Coastal Resilience in Cocos Islands Push

The Australian Department of Defence is investing over A$500 million in the Cocos Islands, a move that not only boosts military capability but also underscores the critical importance of preserving the islands' marine environment to ensure the long-term survival of this significant infrastructure project. By upgrading…

📰 NC Communities Are Testing Nature-based Defenses Against Coastal Erosion

🌊 North Carolina: Scientists studying the state's barrier islands say stronger storms, rising seas, and persistent wave action are increasing risks to both oceanfront beaches and marsh shorelines.

🏖️ Researchers are using computer models to understand how waves, tides, and future storm conditions may reshape coastlines and to evaluate which protection strategies can best reduce erosion.

🦪 One promising approach is the use of "living shorelines" that combine marsh vegetation, oyster growth, and low-profile structures made from rock, wood, or other materials to absorb wave energy and trap sediment.

🌱 Rather than relying on a single solution, coastal experts emphasize layered strategies that blend natural and engineered protections to help communities adapt while preserving ecosystems and public access to beaches.

#CoastalResilience includes protecting California's wild coastal spaces and its #IntertidalBiodiversity now and for future generations. Time is running out for the California State Assembly to prioritize these critical funds in the Assembly's #cabudget

Crabs, crabs, crabs! At the California Institute for Biodiversity, we STRONGLY support #CoastalResilience #CABudget funds to protect the intertidal zone habitat of these clawed coastal critters and the countless species that call the California coastline home.

#CALeg #IntertidalBiodiversity #Biodiversity

This beautiful, strange, fascinating, cute creature is a Hopkin's rose nudibranch, aka sea slug! It's part of CA's amazing #IntertidalBiodiversity we must preserve, protect, and record with a DNA barcode library database.

We're excited that the CA Senate has a plan to prioritize #CoastalResilience funds, which will help protect the habitats of our favorite nudibranches (and countless other species). We urge the Assembly to adopt the same plan!

Mangroves are more than just trees. They are a vital ecosystem that covers a third of Earth’s coastlines and provides a range of benefits to humans and nature. Mangroves store more carbon than any other terrestrial ecosystem, protect coastal communities from storms and erosion, and support rich biodiversity and fisheries. Yet, mangroves are disappearing at an alarming rate.

It's no surprise to us that California is number 1 state for #biodiversity. We've spent this #EarthWeek in Sacramento for #PowerInNature -- rallying for #IntertidalBiodiversity and #CoastalResilience funds to protect and preserve our thousands of native species!

Today is #OceanDayCA - we're headed to Sacramento along with hundreds of other ocean advocates to urge lawmakers to protect #CoastalResilience funds in the state budget.

We're also making a special ask to extend California's DNA barcode libraries to life in the intertidal zone. We already have such libraries for pollinators, insects, fungi and soil - this is the next step.
