Coastal issues:

Changing sea-levels and the potential for extreme weather events make coastal areas of the CARA region particularly susceptible to the effects of climate and land use change. CARA researchers are in the process of developing information sources regarding these issues that will be included in this section of the site.

Stresses explores the stresses induced on the coastal systems by the effects of climate change and human use of the land.

Impacts explores effects on the coastal systems, including flooding and inundation and the effects on changing land-use patterns and climate effects on water supply and quality.
