Service Description: Climate change is already having an impact on our seas with various affects observed including: increase in sea surface temperature of 0.6°C per decade since 1994; sea level rise around Ireland by approximately 4–6cm since the early 1990s; ocean acidity increasing significantly in subsurface and deep offshore waters around Ireland between 1991 and 2010; increased numbers of warm water marine fish species in Irish waters with increased sightings of exotic fish species. Changes expected by mid-century in the maritime area include: storms affecting Ireland decreasing in frequency but increase in intensity; increase in the frequency of storm surge events around Irish coastal areas; extreme wave heights likely to increase; continued warming of Irish water consistent with global ocean projections; sea levels continuing to rise in line with global projections.

Description: The NMPF’s climate change policies seek to support management of potential impacts of proposals in two ways. Firstly, the way in which the proposal may affect natural and / or physical features that play a role in mitigation (e.g. carbon sequestration) or adaptation (e.g. flood defence. Secondly the way in which the proposal has considered its own direct and indirect contributions to mitigation (e.g. measures included in the proposal to reduce emissions) and adaptation (e.g. ensuring the proposal is future-proofed in relation to changing operating conditions due to climate change).
