Why we need you
Why we need you
Risk is the interaction between the hazard with the asset.
• We know the hazard - sea level rise, climate change
• You know your assets, what’s along the coastline, how it might respond to inundation and erosion.
Cross discipline participation
There will be many people with different backgrounds in the workshop.
This is important to understand the interrelationship between social, economic and environmental impacts.
This way we can learn from each other.
So....what you can do before the workshop

How do you and the community use your coastline?
What are the current pressures on your coast?
How might the above change in the future - 2030, 2050, 2100?
Think about your objectives

Come and shape the future of our coast!
