The Impact

In this paper, the impact of sea level rise (SLR) throughout the 21st century in the overtopping of port breakwaters is analyzed at a regional scale, focusing on the Catalan coast (NW Mediterranean). The study is made considering three scenarios of SLR and two levels of storminess, computing the overtopping discharges in 47 ports to assess those exceeding a tolerable threshold and to roughly estimate the monetary value of the consequences of such discharges. Possible adaptation measures are examined, selecting the most cost-effective and assessing the cost of its implementation for the different scenarios and two damage levels. Results show that, as it could be expected, the number of ports affected by overtopping will increase with SLR, as well as the economic impact. Another remarkable finding of this paper is the significant savings in adaptation measures achieved allowing a minimum level of damage in contrast to the zero-damage option.

Socioeconomic Vulnerability

The objective of the research is to expose the socioeconomic impacts in Tlacotalpan, Veracruz, considering a sudden increase in sea level of 5 meters. The interdisciplinary methodology consisted of locating, territorially quantifying the vulnerable groups that are currently within the danger zone and the second consisted of qual-ifying, through fieldwork, the specificities of the same. the most pressing results were: the municipality of Tla-cotalpan suffered a flood of five meters above sea level, 23% of its territory would be flooded, that is, 133 km2 of its demarcation present a certain degree of socioeconomic vulnerability to sea level rise. With the above, it is necessary to carry out the disaster prevention policy aimed at vulnerable groups. Keywords: Coastal geography, sociocultural vulnerability, economic impact.
