Greenhouse Effect and Sea Level Rise: The Cost of Holding Back the Sea
Abstract: Previous studies suggest that the expected global warming from the greenhouse
effect could raise sea level 50 to 200 centimeters (2 to 7 feet) in the next century. This article
presents the first nationwide assessment of the primary impacts of such a rise on the United
States: (1) the cost of protecting ocean resort communities by pumping sand onto beaches
and gradually raising barrier islands in place; (2) the cost of protecting developed areas
along sheltered waters through the use of levees (dikes) and bulkheads; and (3) the loss of
coastal wetlands and undeveloped lowlands. The total cost for a one-meter rise would be
