“…The review found preference for both proactive [110,133,134] and reactive [11,135] adaptation responses. Reasons for preferring a reactive response included: uncertainty about the impacts, concerns about spending money on proactive adaptation rather than focussing on current issues, and that it is more effective to wait and see [11,135].…”

“…In Weisner and Schernewski (2013) [107], public opinion only changed when there were major modifications to the adaptation scheme, despite an information campaign and public participation in the process. In the few studies that asked participants how they imagined their preferences might change into the future, there was general awareness and concession that relocation will be necessary in the future and perhaps even preferred [87,99,134,140]. Finally, a few additional studies investigated how perceptions might change in the future using scenarios or simulations of future conditions, finding mixed results in preference changes [137,141].…”

Understanding Preferences for Coastal Climate Change Adaptation: A Systematic Literature Review

Lack of public support for coastal adaptation can present significant barriers for implementation. In response, policy makers and academics are seeking strategies to build public support for coastal adaptation, which requires a deeper understanding of peoples’ preferences for coastal adaptation and what motives those preferences. Here, we conduct a systematic literature review to understand preferences for coastal adaptation options and the factors influencing these preferences. Ninety peer-reviewed publications meet the inclusion criteria. The findings revealed that hard protection options were often the most frequently preferred, likely due to a desire to maintain current shoreline, for the protection of recreational spaces and private property, and a perceived effectiveness of hard protection options. Soft protection, including nature-based approaches, accommodation, and no action were the next most preferred options. Finally, retreat options were the least preferred, often due to strong place attachment. We identify twenty-eight factors that could influence preferences, with risk perception, place attachment, and financial considerations occurring most frequently in the literature. In the conclusion, we outline the most significant research gaps identified from our analysis and discuss the implication for adaptation research and practice.

“…Esteves 2014). Most studies on managed realignment have focused on hydro logy and risk assessment to human residents, beaches/ tourism, and other economic issues (Rupp-Armstrong & Nicholls 2007, Rulleau et al 2017), resulting in limited information on the ecological consequences when seawater floods agricultural lands.…”

Managed realignment by deliberate flooding of coastal areas is an adaptation to sea level rise but may risk enriching the coastal zone with nutrients when seawater floods agricultural soil. This study focuses on the early development of macroalgae and their sources of nitrogen (N) in Gyldensteen Coastal Lagoon, Denmark. The lagoon was claimed for agricultural purposes in 1871 and reflooded by managed realignment 143 yr later (2014). Our hypotheses were: (1) that nutrients of agricultural origin from the newly flooded soil initiate opportunistic macroalgal blooms; and (2) that the isotopic composition of green algae rapidly reflects the origin of nutrient sources. We monitored macroalgal cover and conducted stable isotope (δ 15 N) analyses to assess the origin of N sources. Intense green macroalgal blooms occurred during the first summer after flooding and diminished in the 2 following years as a result of rapid water exchange. Low δ 15 N in macroalgae in the first year (mean ± SE, 4.2 ± 0.3 ‰) increased significantly in the next year (8.0 ± 0.1 ‰). A laboratory experiment tested the δ 15 N response of opportunistic green macroalgae (Ulva spp.) exposed to organic manure and synthetic inorganic fertilizers. Higher δ 15 N (11.1 ± 0.1 ‰) characterized manure-treated algae compared to fertilizer-treated algae (2.7 ± 0.2 ‰). Based on these field and laboratory results, we accept both hypotheses and conclude that the major N source supporting macroalgal growth in 2014 was derived from synthetic fertilizers; however, rapid tidal flushing during the following years resulted in nutrient limitation and lower macroalgal growth.

“…Numerous concepts of justice can and should be used as lenses through which to explore managed retreat, including distributional justice (fair distribution of benefits and burdens across society), procedural justice (fair and participatory processes for decision-making), recognition justice (recognition of historic injustices that have shaped current conditions), restoration justice (actions taken to provide redress for historical wrongs), intergenerational justice (consideration of future generations), and ecological justice (consideration of the rights and needs of ecosystems and non-human species) (see Holland 2017;Meerow et al 2019;Schlosberg 2013;Schlosberg and Collins 2014;Walker 2012;Whyte 2011;Wilmsen and Rogers 2019;Young 1990). Managed retreat touches not only on traditional environmental justice issues such as inequitable exposure to environmental hazards and access to environmental amenities (Martinich et al 2013;Knighton et al 2021) but also social justice issues such as affordable housing, wealth inequality, access to livelihoods, and power dynamics in the political economy (Sipe and Vella 2014;Rulleau et al 2017;Loughran et al 2019). For many individuals and communities, these different dimensions of justice are critical, since relocation is an embodied process that shapes and reshapes their physical, emotional, social, financial, and cultural relations with space (Kuusisto-Arponen and Gilmartin 2015).…”

Introduction: Managed retreat and environmental justice in a changing climate

In response to global climate change, managed retreat has emerged as a controversial adaptation strategy. The purposeful movement of people and communities away from hazardous places raises numerous social and environmental justice concerns that will become even more pressing as retreat occurs more frequently and at larger scales. This special issue contributes to an emerging body of literature on managed retreat by providing a range of perspectives and approaches to considering justice in managed retreat. The assembled papers represent diverse voices (including perspectives from individuals whose communities are currently relocating or considering relocation), disciplines (including oral histories, legal analyses, and cultural heritage considerations), and lenses through which to consider the justice implications of managed retreat. They describe completed, in-progress, and foiled relocations. They suggest opportunities for improvement through improved evaluations and broader collaborations. While each presents a unique lens, key themes emerge around the need for transparent and equitable policies, self-determination of communities, holistic metrics for assessing individual and community well-being, the importance of culture both as something to be protected and an asset to be leveraged, and the need to address historical and systemic injustices that contribute to vulnerability and exposure to risk.
