- W2965940981 abstract "The vulnerability of the coastal zone of Cameroon to flooding from sea level rise (SLR) wasquantified using Geographic Information System (GIS) flooding analysis. The main economicactivities and ecosystems along this area were identified using secondary data. Valuations of non-market values of ecosystems were based on the ecosystem service product method. The low-lyingcoastal areas were found to bephysically and socio-economicallysusceptible to impacts of SLRdue to their high ecological and economic value. A digitised land use/land cover (LULC)classification was produced from low resolution topographic maps and Google Earth images of thearea. The digital elevation model (DEM) usedwas acquired by the shuttle radar topographymission. Evaluation of potential land loss due to inundation was based on empirical approachesusing minimum and maximum scenarios of 2 and 10 m flooding. These were estimated consideringthe best available SLR data for the area, mean high water levels and wave heights during storms.The estimated SLR range from 2.3 m to 9.2 m for thelow and high scenarios, respectively, by 2050and from 2.6 m to 9.7 m for the low and high scenarios, respectively, by the year 2100. Resultsindicate that 112 km2(1.2 %) and 1,216 km2(12.6 %) of the coastal area will be lost from a 2 m(equivalent to a low scenario by 2050) and 10 m (equivalent to a high scenario by 2100) flooding,respectively. 0.3 % to 6.3 % of ecosystems worth US$ 12.13 billion/yrcould be at risk of floodingby the years 2050 and 2100. Theareas under a serious threat contain mangroves, sea and airport,residential and industrial areas of Douala. Main plantation crops of banana and palms will beslightly affected. The identification of the socio-economic impacts of projected SLR on vulnerablecoastlines and populations is important for timely actions to be taken in mitigating the effects ofnatural disasters in the coastal zone." @default.
