Summary of Proposed Amendment to CRMP Section 145 Climate Change and Sea Level Rise:

The purpose of the proposed amendment to Section 145 of the Coastal Resources Management Program is to update sea level rise (SLR) projections for short-, mid- and long-term timelines of 2035, 2050 and 2100, respectively, as calculated using current National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) methodology and based on the Newport, RI NOAA tide gauge. The CRMC’s existing policy in Section 145 is to periodically review new scientific information regarding SLR. The proposed amendment would provide the state and municipalities with appropriate sea level rise projections for consideration in the planning and design of future public and private investments and natural resource restoration projects.
