The Last #IceAge shows how rising #SeaLevels will transform #coastal habitats
Story by Chrissy Sexton, August 31, 2023
"The results of the study show that higher global temperatures will trigger a rise in sea levels that will lead to instability and profound changes to coastal #ecosystems, including #Tidal Marshes, #mangrove forests, #CoralReefs and #coral islands.
"'Mangroves and tidal #marshes act as a buffer between the ocean and the land – they absorb the impact of wave action, prevent erosion and are crucial for #biodiversity of fisheries and coastal plants,' said study lead author Neil Saintilan of Macquarie University. 'When the plants become water-logged due to higher sea levels, they start to flounder."
"In the worst-case scenarios, these coastal habitats, will shrink - and in some cases wash away - as they have in the distant past, according to the study."
