1. Introduction

This paper starts by explaining sea level rise (SLR) and its effects on the surrounding environment, as well as the risks it poses to the shoreline. In the Literature Review, the report will cover adaptation measures to mitigate sea level rise. Following this, a few principles will be found in the theoretical framework for the best practise to manage SLR on the coastline through a Literature Rreview, that includes a discussion of the measures that can be employed to mitigate the effects of SLR. The study will analyse how these solutions compare to the existing strategies utilised by the Byron Shire Council to deal with the implications of SLR through the Results and Discussion chapters. The report’s conclusion will describe the study’s limitations as well as a possible future direction, and a proposal that will satisfy the report’s aim.
