Coastal Landscape Response

The Coastal Landscape Response assessment creates multidecadal predictions of where and when the coast is likely to adapt or inundate. Results are produced for four decades—the 2020s, 2030s, 2050s, and 2080s. This information helps users determine where land will be available in its current or changed form or become submerged in response to future sea level change. 

By informing people of where coastal land will likely be available—or not—for future use, land use managers can make long-term plans concerning important infrastructure and valuable resources.
