|a Land changes in the coastal zone and high sea-level rise rates are exposing lowland areas to more frequent events of saltwater intrusion, flooding and rapid shoreline erosion, magnifying the negative effects of coastal storms and storm surge. Louisiana is particularly sensitive to sea- level rise (SLR) due to the unique geology and inherent nature of the Mississippi River Delta and Chenier Plains. There is a pressing need to integrate up-to-date SLR estimates into planning activities to anticipate coastal land loss patterns, protect coastal communities and adequately design restoration projects.Projections for future SLR and concurrent coastal vulnerability estimates are numerous and variable. State and regional planning efforts aimed at mitigating the impacts of SLR are iterating between policy development and implementation as projections are refined and confidence in future estimates increases. Adaptability and flexibility are key components to ensure the incorporation of the most current and accurate SLR projections into project planning and policy development for the Louisiana coast. In this document we synthesize historical SLR research, review the state of the current science and identify key principles and recommendations in determining and incorporating SLR into coastal restoration strategies, modeling efforts and project design. The objective of this document is to make technical recommendations for incorporating SLR into Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority of Louisiana (CPRA) planning and engineering of habitat restoration and storm protection projects. The document is structured to:
• Deductively summarize the state of the science on the patterns of increase in the surface of the global ocean, regional Gulf of Mexico and local coastal waters, in order to recommend the rate(s) of anticipated SLR most appropriate for incorporating into project design, planning and analysis, and Describe how that recommended rate(s) of local sea-level rise should be combined with the present understanding of the highly variable spatial patterns in coastal landform subsidence and wetland vertical accretion to predict relative SLR at specific points in the Louisiana coastal zone.It should be noted that SLR research released after August 2011 were not included in this version of the report. Because global, regional and local estimates of SLR are constantly changing as new data become available, this report will by necessity be revised via an iterative process. CPRA plans to update this report at a minimum every five years, or as major improvements in SLR understanding or changes in documented rates occur. |
