“…This value was lower than sea level trend rate of Dumai sea water. Based on Williams (2013), during the 20th century, sea level began rising at a global average rate of 1.7 mm/year. The current average rise rate is 3.1 mm/year, a 50% increase over the past two decades.…”

“…IPCC predictions for sea level rise due to global warming poses similar threats to the area (Boer et al, 2001). Williams (2013) listed the implications for global warming and sea level rise as increased rate of landward migration of the barrier, decreased barrier width and elevation of barrier and sand dunes, increased frequency of storm overwash, increased frequency of barrier breaching and inlet formation and widening and segmentation of the barrier. Increased sea level rise of 5 mm/yr for the next 100 years and projected increased cyclonic activity in the region, would exacerbate the existing coastal erosion problems at this bay, which may lead to breaching of the barrier beach.…”

“…Global mean sea level was relatively stable for the past several thousand years under a mild climate until the mid-19th century, but during the 20th century sea level began rising due to global warming resulting from human activities at a global average rate of 1.2 mm/year. The current average global rise rate is 3.2 mm/year, 2.5 times faster [2,3]. Many coastal regions, particularly deltas, however, are experiencing much greater local or relative sea-level rise (LSLR), defined as global mean sea-level rise plus subsidence, plus sediment compaction, and in minor cases land emergence.…”

“…The review considers varying degrees of climate change impacts projected for the next 50-100 years. To reduce risk and vulnerability, [3,8] recommended that adaptation planning using projected GSLR of 0.5-2 m by 2100, plus local geophysical and man-made factors, is advisable. Planning should fit the time frame and degree of protection desired.…”
