An estimated 8400 people in Tasman District live in low-lying coastal areas that are vulnerable to storm inundation and sea level rise, according to a new report. More than 5000 buildings, mostly in Motueka-Riwaka, at least 350 archaeological sites, eight closed landfills, 3650ha of grassland, 2106ha of coastal indigenous vegetation (much of it in Abel Tasman National Park) and 941ha of urban land are identified as being at risk. Those risks arise from coastal storm inundation that has a 1 per cent chance of occurring in any year and up to 2m of sea level rise.
