Description
"To inform the decision making and sustainable management of these rivers and coastal systems we used hydrodynamic modelling to predict the changes in intertidal zone for four sea level rise scenarios. These are a 0.00m rise for current day, a 0.14 m rise for 2030, a 0.70 m rise for 2070 and a 1.10 m rise for 2100. Our results predict that for 2030, there will be an increase of 14 % in the intertidal zone and by 2070, 89 %
as compared with current day. For 2100, we predict almost 90 % of the floodplain to be saline inundated.
For case sites of interest, Boggy Plain and Magela Creek, we predict saline inundation to occur for a sea
level rise between +0.14 m and + 0.70 m. The estimated timescale of risk for these freshwater areas is
therefore between 2030 and 2070." - Executive summary,
