"Sea level rise (SLR)
poses a prominent challenge to current and future generations, impacting the habitability of coastlines, trade routes, and major infrastructure systems near the ocean."
"Our results highlight geographic variability in exposure and demonstrate the benefits that low-emissions pathways imply for preserving built environments."

The impacts of fossil fuel emissions are gnawing on Australia's coastline
"Australia's exposure to current and future risks from the sea, including coastal erosion, king tides and rising sea levels, was "very high", The Insurance Council of Australia.
"Sea level rise caused by climate change would mean the issue was not going away, and Australians needed to consider what we valued about our coastline."
"Why a seawall might not protect both beaches and homes from coastal erosion...We'll end up with a giant wall around our beaches, or around our whole coastline. That's not saving the landscape, that's saving the infrastructure. We've got to slow down development and look at what we value about the beach."
Professor Kennedy "said governments would need to consider buying back beachfront land and rehabilitating it, to protect both infrastructure and the beach."

One-third of Australia’s coastal terrestrial aquaculture at risk from sea level rise
"We found by 2100, sea level rise threatens to flood 98% of the state’s approved prawn areas."
