CoastAdapt provides information, guidance and support on coastal adaptation for everyone, including householders, infrastructure operators, small to large businesses, and government at all levels.
CoastAdapt contains a wealth of information, tools, templates and checklists. Finding your way around can be daunting, at least for the first few visits. Here are some places to start. Once you have visited a few times, you’ll be able to find your way around easily.
Here are a few links to helpful information in CoastAdapt, and things you may be looking for.
Every CoastAdapt user is different. We have prepared eight profiles that may help you find what you need:
Questions you are likely to ask (click to dropdown)
- Visit Sea Level Rise and You for information on future sea level rise and inundation for your local area, and how to use these graphs, tables and maps

- As a first step, you need to identify your risk. CoastAdapt has two tools to help you do this. The first, Shoreline Explorer, looks at present-day vulnerability and erodibility of the coast. The second, Sea-level Rise and You, looks at future sea-level rise and inundation
- You can then do a first-pass risk assessment to see if you need to take further action.
