This could include designing the ground levels of seaside buildings to permit storm induced surges to pass through without flooding the lower floors, thus minimizing potential damage to offices and homes. In addition, construction in coastal areas damaged by extreme events could be prohibited, as has been done in Hilo, Hawaii.

This booklet is aimed at policy makers, pulling together evidence regarding the value of coastal ecosystems in terms of coastal protection.

Second claim unit Marine and coastal resources The second claim unit is for compensation for damage to marine and coastal resources.

It also looked at integrated coastal area and river basin management, which links freshwater and coastal and marine systems, highlighting land based sources of activities affecting the quality and uses of the coastal and marine environment.

In July 2004, heavy monsoon rains caused extensive flooding in a large area of Bangladesh.

The flooding was compounded by drainage problems resulting from limited pumping capacity and poor maintenance of drainage systems.

The conclusion is thus that each dollar spent on conserving forests would yield 5 15 worth of social good, including tangible benefits, such as from logging or carbon capture, and soft gains, like preserving forests' intrinsic beauty. Conserving the world's wetlands which also provide valuable services, including protection of coastal areas and river valleys from flooding is also sensible, providing a tenfold return on each dollar spent.

These practices are believed to have adverse effects on the sustainable development and conservation of fishery resources, economies and food security of coastal States, particularly developing coastal States.

That has put a tremendous strain on our roads, which has been exacerbated by high rainfall, flooding and landslides.

Almost all coastal countries, including small island developing States, reported that climate change and its consequent sea level rise will have a devastating effect on coastal communities and infrastructure.

This estimate does not include the coastal oil trench and coastal oil deposit as contamination in those areas was not caused by invasion related oil spills modelled by OSCAR.

Most coastal countries analysed impacts on coastal zones using the IPCC scenarios of sea level rise, which assume a 0.5 and or 1.0 m rise in sea level by 2100.

Locally, 1 to 4 inches of rain will cause dangerous flash flooding, debris flows and possibility landslides in the desert.
