Sea Level Rise Adaptation Primer; A toolkit to build adaptive capacity on Canada’s Coasts Kari Tyler, Climate Action Secretariat, BC Ministry of Environment Warming Oceans and Rising Tides: Coastal Adaptation in Northwest BC October 21, 2015 | Prince Rupert

Sea levels have risen ~ 20cm since 1901, faster than at any time during the last 2000 years. The future rate of sea level rise will very likely exceed that observed during 1971–2010 “We are committed to climate change, and effects will persist for many centuries even if emissions of CO2 stop.”

BC Sea Level Projections for 2100 Location Relative SLR (m) Global SLR = 1m Prince Rupert 0.95 Queen Charlotte City 0.79 Bella 0.78 Port Hardy 0.76 Campbell River 0.62 Tofino 0.75 Vancouver 0.89 Richmond 1.20 (Thomson, Bornhold and Mazzotti, 2008)

Sea Level Rise Adaptation Strategies ProtectAccomodateRetreatAvoid

Sea level rise adaptation will be unique for each coastal community

Information Gathering Public Education & Community Engagement Adaptation Tools Monitoring & Evaluation Climate Change Adaptation Framework

There are many options to adapt to SLR! Sea walls, dykes Scour protection Dune building, Beach nourishment Protect Flood Construction Levels Wet flood proofing, floatable or elevated homes Flood storage areas Accommodate Land use restrictions, Zoning Land acquisition, Land trust Transfer of development rights Avoid Easements Land acquisition Wetland restoration Retreat
