Managed Retreat from the Coastline
|
|
|
| There are many Māori communities in coastal fringes and lowland areas who are already exposed to flooding, erosion and sedimentation, and these risks are projected to increase with sea-level rise. Other Māori-owned land is steep and susceptible to damage from high-intensity rainstorms. About 80 per cent of land and ocean-based resources owned by Māori are held in multiple or communal ownership. Some Māori are less able to ‘retreat’ to other areas which can increase the complexity of managed retreat. |
