This study presents an assessment of potential impacts of sea level rise on the New Jersey coast. Using historical flood data, digital elevation models, and climate change projections, the authors found that sea level rise will submerge 1-3% of coastal lands, and 6. 5-9% of coastal land will be affected by periodic flooding. The study looks at Cape May Point as a case study for potential impacts on socioeconomic and natural resources that would be relevant to other coastal areas. Finally, the authors broadly identify a gradual retreat strategy for adaptation.
