Abstract
    The Unesco COMAR working group on mean sea-level rise and its influence on the coastal zone analyses various aspects of relative sea-level change, both in recent geological and historical times and with a view towards future decades. The report provides a critical summary of the causes, likelihood and consequences of relative mean sea-level change. Most of these are seen to be site-specific rather than global. The working group also suggests components and basic considerations for the establishment of international programmes to ascertain sea-level change. Included with the text are six illustrations, one table and a list of references on the subject.The authors conclude that, while current scientific opinion does not tend toward “doomsday” forecasts of dramatic global sea-level rise, significant changes in the levels of both the land and the sea are likely. Future studies should concentrate on site-specific aspects of such changes in areas under threat.
