The study was conducted from May 2017 to April 2018 in the municipality of Tanza, Cavite to assess its vulnerability to sea level rise. Specifically, the study aimed to: (1) assess the changes in the climate of the Municipality of Tanza, Cavite; (2) project the rate of sea level in the Municipality of Tanza, Cavite; (3) assess the vulnerability of the Municipality of Tanza to sea level rise; and (4) recommend the potential adaptation, mitigation, and policies based on vulnerability assessment to sea level rise.
Changes in climate were obtained from annual temperature and rainfall amount (1975-2017) of DOST-PAGAS A and assessed through temperature anomaly, 20-year comparison of temperature (1975-1995 and 1996-2016), t-test analysis, and linear graphs. Sea level was gathered from tide gauge of DENR-NAMIBIA and determined through sea level formula while the relationship of sea level and temperature was analyzed through linear regression analysis. Assessment of coastal and socio-economic vulnerability dimensions were acquired from DENR-MGB, DENR-NAMRIA, PSA, barangay profile, and PhilGIS.org and assessed through its perspective index. Validation was done through key informant interview. Several recommended adaptation and mitigation were enumerated based on the vulnerability assessment of the Municipality of Tanza to sea level rise.
On the mean temperature anomaly, warmer beyond normal value was observed in year 1996 up to 2017 and colder in year 1975 up to 1995, 2000, and 2009 increasing in linear trend. Using 20-year comparison of mean, present temperature (1996 up to 20th) was higher compared to historical temperature (1975-1995) and was observed to be significantly different with t-test.
Sea level of the Municipality of Tanza increased through time and the computed sea level rise was 0.013 m/yr. Annual mean temperature and mean sea level were significantly correlated.
Based on Coastal Vulnerability Index (CVI), about 1435.65 hectares, 27197 people, and 7559 infrastructures (6044 houses & 1515 establishments) were susceptible to sea level rise and majority of the area would be highly susceptible (494.82 ha or 34.47%). Socio-economic Vulnerability Index (SW) presented that about 1390.99 hectares, 28596 people and 8029 infrastructure (6355 house & 1674 establishment) are susceptible to sea level rise and majority of the area would be very highly susceptible (51.49% or 716.22 ha).
