The Future Habitat application evaluates where coastal habitats might move inland due to rising sea levels. Coastal wetlands will change and may move landward as sea level rises. The Future Habitat app helps visualize how these habitats may change and migrate inland over time. This app allows users to examine changes in coastal habitats under different sea level rise scenarios.
