Coastal Recession

The current version of the decision-support tool is useful for identifying the likelihood of coastal flooding from the sea where there is a hard shoreline. In situations where there is a soft shoreline it will also be important to address the likelihood of coastal recession due to sea-level rise. The following websites provide useful information on this topic.

Future developments of the decision-support tool will seek to integrate recession and inundation parameters.
