Good explanation about how land subsidence in and around Thames is contributing to sea level rise effects, and great to see the flooding maps from the Regional Council showing the impact on Thames for 0.2m, 0.5 m and 1 m of sea level rise being used.
Some confusion in the report between the Thames-Coromandel District Council and the Hauraki District Council. Overall a good summary of the local issues.

These risks are made worse because parts of the Thames foreshore are sinking. Latest projections say it is very likely that the sea will rise between 0.2m and 0.4 m by 2050 regardless of efforts made in the next few decades to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Even a 0.2 m rise seems likely to cause worse groundwater flooding in Thames. As a community we need to face up to these challenges, and make sure our town gets the funding and expertise it needs so we can plan and adapt.
