In late September 2021, we held three community online events. The webinars were an opportunity to find out more the Tasman District Council Coastal Management Project, what’s at risk from sea level rise and coastal hazards, and our options for responding.
This is a recording of a webinar held on 28 September 2021 with presenters Dr Rob Bell, Diana Worthy, Glenn Stevens, and facilitated by Nicole Taber.
The webinars followed community sessions held in 2019, during the early stages of the project. The conversations in 2019 helped to gather feedback on what people value that may be affected by sea level rise and coastal hazards. That feedback helped inform our report assessing coastal risk and vulnerability (during 2020).
The 2021 community conversations were at a broadly regional level, to understand the range of possible coastal management options.
Future work will be delivered through targeted community adaptation planning and will consider specific options at the local level around Tasman, and their respective costs, benefits, and potential adverse effects - as well as a process to learn community preferences. Long-term adaptation planning work will take several years to complete and the community conversation will be ongoing.
