According to projections by Rutgers available on NJFloodMapper.org, a 1-foot increase in sea level would submerge portions of Cattus Island County Park in Toms River, affect some low lying bayfront sections of Brick and Toms River, and begin to drown protective marshland on the mainland side of Ocean County. A 2-foot increase in sea level would submerge streets and some properties in Ocean Gate, flood blocks of Point Pleasant Beach and leave portions of Highlands and Keansburg under water. Rutgers' report predicts sea level will rise between 1.4 and 3.1 feet from 2000 levels by 2070, if current greenhouse gas emissions remain about the same in coming decades. Matt Campo, a researcher in environmental analysis at the Bloustein School, said the new report provides three different sea level rise scenarios, each one tailored to whether greenhouse gas emissions stay consistent, are placed under strict limits, or increase in the future. If emissions increase, researchers predict New Jersey could experience a sea level rise of 3.5 feet by 2070. The report also says the speed at which the water is rising is increasing over time.
