Created 25/06/2025

Updated 25/06/2025

Geomorphic descriptions of the shoreline type around Tasmania's coast, together with an indicative ('first pass') assessment of the vulnerability of each coastal segment to erosion and recession due to sea level rise. Coastal segments with minimal vulnerability are also noted. Study reference: Sharples (2006) "Indicative Mapping of Tasmanian Coastal Vulnerability to Climate Change and Sea Level Rise, 2nd edition", DPIW, Tasmania, available from www.dpipwe.tas.gov.au/conservation/climate-change.
