SEA LEVELS In NZ Are Rising TWICE AS FAST As Previously Predicted
New data from NZ SeaRise, a collection of local and international scientists, has shown that sea levels in New Zealand are rising twice as fast as previously predicted. At this rate, Wellington will see 30cm of sea-level rise in just 18 years, which is enough to cause once-in-a-century flood damage on a yearly basis. NZ SeaRise have put together a map to show different parts of the country will be affected.
