Scientists from the organisation NZ SeaRise have launched an online tool which shows you how movement of the land and climate change will affect sea-level rise. The map shows every 2km along our coastline and can predict sea level rise up until the year 2300. It is estimated we will witness it rise a total of 1.2 metres which is double than what was originally expected.
