A new report from NOAA predicts that sea level rise will increase by up to 12 inches nationally in the next 30 years, the same amount it's increased in the last 100 years.
SAN DIEGO, Calif. - A new report from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration predicts that sea-level rise will increase by up to 12 inches nationally in the next 30 years, the same amount it's increased in the last 100 years.The west coast of the United States is on the lower end of the increase, with between four and eight inches of rising expected by 2050. However, there are other factors at play that could make flooding worse in Southern California.
She says NOAA’s study is important because it gives a confident prediction of the next 30 years, so it is important to take action. One of the results she hopes will come from the data is better planning of coastal roadways and parking lots, which have the potential to flood. In the near future, she advises coastal communities to find ways to mitigate coastal flooding, including building resilient beaches, buffering beach hazards, and giving recovery time after storms. Long term, cities, and leaders need to plan better coastal roads and public transportation to the beach, action should start planning now because of the time and money it takes to put together large-scale projects like this.
