Complete

Nelson City Council created a coastal inundation map viewer on its website to showcase the potential impact of future sea level rise. The map uses a "bathtub model" to examine the flooding of Nelson's coast with seawater based on a two metre sea level rise scenario. Residents can search for their own property and review different sea level rise scenarios.
