Depth Study Inquiry: How will sea level rise affect Minnamurra River's coastal ecosystems?

A 2017 scientific report by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) suggests that the mean sea level may rise between 0.3 – 2.5 m before 2100. How the coastal wetlands along the Minnamurra River respond to this rapid change will depend on how well adapted they already are. Local research shows that sea levels have already increased in the Minnamurra River and the ecosystems are changing in response.

What will this mean for the future of Minnamurra River’s coastal ecosystems?
