Campbell River, BC anticipates future coastal construction issues with Rising Seas Strategy
Campbell River, BC Rising Seas Future Coastal Construction
Complete
The city sought the assistance of coastal engineers to evaluate potential flooding concerns at four riverfront locations. Engineers used recent coastal conditions to model rising sea levels due to extreme weather and long-term climate change. Local residents and businesses provided feedback on how to balance environmental, tourism, and development considerations. These inputs allow Campbell River to create uniform flood mitigation guidelines for coastal neighborhoods.
