Overview
A brilliant feature article from Stuff National Correspondent Charlie Mitchell called Beach Road The Rising Sea and the Reshaping of NZ This is the best in-depth reporting I have seen on the impact of sea-level rise in New Zealand.
Also, there is this great overview of our sea level rise crisis in this Listener article. Protect or retreat are the only two options but both are hugely expensive and disruptive, and where is the funding coming from?
Also highly recommended is the comprehensive and ongoing Stuff series on Climate Change
