Coastal hazards such as erosion and flooding pose a very real risk to coastal communities around TÄmaki Makaurau/ Auckland. The impacts of coastal erosion and other coastal hazards will be influenced by our changing climate, including the effects of sea-level rise, and the decisions we make as TÄmaki Makaurau continues to grow.
To better understand the potential impacts of coastal erosion, Auckland Council has released a new report, â
Predicting Aucklandâs Exposure to Coastal Instability and Erosionâ that assesses the areas of Auckland that are susceptible to coastal erosion and cliff instability. The report explains the methodology used in a scientific study to estimate erosion rates for Aucklandâs beaches and cliffs and includes regional-scale maps that identify which of Aucklandâs coastal areas may be susceptible to coastal erosion and instability over a range of time periods.
