This polygon represent the potential limits of inundation caused simply by rising tide levels (not considering storms, erosion, or river discharge) for medium sea level rise (93 cm by 2100, relative to 2010) in 2060. The water level mapped in these inundation areas is the Extreme Monthly High Water (EMHW) level, which is a high water level that is reached approximately once a month (sea level rise added to the existing EMHW of 2.0 meters NAVD88). As sea level rises, the area of inundation will grow and water levels in already-inundated areas will deepen.This feature is one in a series of coastal flood and erosion hazard zones developed as part of the Coastal Resilience Ventura project. For detailed documentation about how these hazard zones were developed please see "Coastal Resilience Ventura: Technical Report for Coastal Hazards Mapping," a report prepared by ESA PWA for The Nature Conservancy. |
