Mapping & SLR Vulnerability
• Inventory and map existing
shoreline conditions
• Assess shoreline vulnerability
to breaching or overtopping,
under current tidal and climatic
conditions,
• Assess existing shoreline
vulnerability to sea level rise,
• Identify land uses and
infrastructure at risk
Shoreline structure types
• Sea Level Rise
