How rising sea levels could change coastline

AS global leaders discuss tackling climate change at the Cop26 summit in Glasgow, a map shows how rising sea levels around Plymouth could change the shape of the coastline forever.

The map produced by Climate Central, using the latest sea level predictions, shows the land which would be below the annual flood level in 2050, including most of Drake’s Island in Plymouth Sound, and McDonald’s at Marsh Mills, alongside the River Plym.

However – the projections do not take into account coastal and river defences, which are designed to hold back the waters to protect homes and businesses.

The map shows how an expected increase in the sea level of up to 29cm (11 inches) over the next 30 years could see unprotected land underwater from flooding. It shows how the sea could inundate lowlying coastal areas, and the vital importance of defences to protect homes and businesses.
