Coastal Impact Matrix

This Coastal Impacts Matrix is a summary table of the data that is provided throughout this report. It allows communities to gauge their specific risks and vulnerabilities in relation to each other and the region. The “Flooding impacts to infrastructure” table (left) provides estimates of roads and buildings flooded during present day high tides and storms, as well as projections for 2050 [CIT. 5]. The “Shoreline and habitat conditions and impacts” table (above) provides values for both existing conditions of shorelines and projections to 2050 for erosion and marsh loss [CIT. 6, 15, 17, 19].
