4 Rising sea level is a physical reality that is impacting the New Jersey and the entire Mid-Atlantic coastline. Predicted future rates are expected to increase to 12 mm/yr (or 0.5 in/yr). This means that by 2050 sea level rise is expected to rise by approximately 1 foot and by 2100 sea level rise is projected to rise about 3 feet along the Jersey shore. The mean sea level trend over the past century is 3.99 millimeters/year (0.15 in/yr) which is equivalent to a change of 1.31 feet in 100 years. Graphic Credit: NOAA
5 NOAA 2050 Scenarios for NJ Lowest: 0.3 ft Intermediate-Low: 0.7 ft Intermediate-High: 1.3 ft Highest: 2.0 ft Projection of sea level rise from 1990 to 2100, based on temperature projections for different Green House Gas emissions scenarios SOURCE: NRC 2010 Vermeer and Rahmstorf (2009).

8 Workshop Survey Results: The audience of coastal decision makers highlighted their perceived need for place-based information and decision support tools to inform land use planning, floodplain management and emergency management in the face of accelerating sea level rise.

12 Designing decision support tools related to SLR: (NOAA Center for Sponsored Coastal Ocean Research, 2007) Tools should incorporate information ascertained through scientific research and modeling that can be easily applied by governments and landowners when planning future land use and deciding on policy and regulations that affect coastal resources; Tools should forecast expected habitat changes, especially potential loss of habitats important for ecological services; Tools should be easy to translate to decision makers; Tools should enable easy understanding of potential risks to people and development due to future flooding and related hazards.
13 NJFloodMapper Project: examine how web-based geospatial decision-making tools can be developed and implemented to promote coastal resilience in the face of sea level rise and extreme storm events: Overall Goal: to broaden access to vital geospatial information with the goal of empowering a wide and diverse community of concerned parties interested in coastal management and conservation. Specific Objectives: Develop a focused web-based mapping application with an intuitive interface and gentle learning curve. Expand to fuller decision support tool.

27 NJ Coastal Flooding Exposure Assessment As part of the New Jersey Recovery Fund effort, we are undertaking a geospatial assessment to identify geographic areas of New Jersey that are most vulnerable to storm surge and sea level rise for use in coastal resiliency planning. The specific objectives are: To rank and map exposure to coastal hazards using a consensus-based protocol; Implement the above protocol to map vulnerable geographic areas under present but also under future projected sea level rise (2050 and 2100) conditions.

31 NJ Coastal Flood Exposure Assessment: Next Steps Identify and map hazard zones with the most extreme SLR/flooding exposure to assist coastal communities in making critical decisions in planning for shoreline areas. To identify hazard conflict areas where urban land uses are at risk but also constricting the natural dynamics of coastline and wetland migration in the face of rising sea levels A valuation of the potential ecosystem services of alternative green infrastructure to provide a better understanding of economic tradeoffs
32 Plan for the Future
33 Getting to Resilience is a non-regulatory tool to assist local decision-makers in the collaborative identification of planning, mitigation, and adaptation opportunities to reduce vulnerability to coastal storms and sea level rise. The outcome are positive steps towards rewards from programs like FEMA s Community Rating System, FEMA s Hazard Mitigation Planning processes and Sustainable Jersey s voluntary municipal points system..
