How worried are you about coastal erosion in Auckland?
Auckland's shoreline could recede by 200m by 2130 if little to no action on climate change is taken.
The report, titled "Predicting Auckland's exposure to coastal instability and erosion", details the impacts this will have on communities the Auckland region.
Sea level rise is notoriously difficult for scientists to follow and this has meant coastal erosion rates have been difficult to predict.
New Zealand's sea levels have risen an average 1.67mm per year since 1989, but the Ministry of Environment says this will accelerate if little action is taken on climate change.

As students adjusted to the shift in their educational environment, many schools were ill-prepared to move to quickly to online learning. Schools such as St Peter’s in Cambridge were readily prepared for a seamless transfer between classroom and digital learning.
With each student ready to use online platforms such as Google Classroom and Hangouts, a streamlined shift was enabled as soon as the lockdown occurred.
Find out why more families are choosing St Peter’s at our Open Day on 12 March.
The World Day of Prayer will be celebrated in Pukekohe with a service at 11am on Friday, March 5, at St Patrick's Catholic Church in Seddon St.

He was about 100 metres high and enjoying the good flying conditions when he heard a small noise “like an engine”.
When he looked up, he was shocked to find a drone had become stuck in his right-hand side brake line which connected his harness to the glider’s canopy.
As a result of the multiple-propellered drone becoming tangled, Binois’ right-hand line became shorter, as if the right brakes were on, which made it difficult to steer the glider.
Binois said while it was a stressful situation, he managed to land uninjured and with “no problems”.
“It could have been a different story if the drone struck the glider in the canopy.”
