Vulnerability of coastal habitat of the Circular Head region to sea level rise: Communication plan

Abstract

The aim of this plan is to communicate the findings of research on the vulnerability of coastal habitats of the Circular Head region coastal foreshore (Boullanger Bay, Robbins Passage, Big Bay and Duck Bay) to sea level rise in order to support action in managing sea level rise impacts. The effects of sea level rise in the study area are already evident and are being managed, for example by local landholders, through the construction of levees to defend land close to the shoreline. The findings of the study support an approach to protecting land that works with nature rather than against it.
