Abstract: AGUZAR, GABRIELLE RHINE G. and CALDERON, BILLY JOE R. Vulnerability Assessment of Naic, Cavite to Sea Level Rise. Undergraduate Thesis. Bachelor of Science in Environmental Science. Cavite State University,Indang, Cavite. June 2018. Adviser: Dr. David L. Cero. The study was conducted from June 2017 to January 2018 in the coastal barangays of Naic, Cavite to assess the vulnerability to sea level rise. Specifically, the study aimed to: (1) identify the changes in climatic conditions in Naic, Cavite; (2) determine the rate of sea level rise in Naic, Cavite and predict where will it be by 2050; (3) conduct a vulnerability assessment in terms of coastal vulnerability and socio-economic vulnerability; and (4) formulate action plans based on the results of the vulnerability assessment. Historical and descriptive research was used in the study. Secondary data form PAGASA and NAMRIA, field visits, interviewing of barangay secretaries and key info ts, forecasting and comput Microsoft Excel and producing maps using ArcGIS 10.2.2 were done to gather pertinent data. Results show a 0.4°C temperature increase with reference to 30-year climate normals and a 329.4 rainfall increase with reference to 30-year rainfall normals. Based on the forecast, the mean sea level will increase by 0.63 -meters at Manila Bay by the end of 2050. Based on the coastal vulnerability index, 1,823 of the population are living in a very high vulnerable location, 2,828 live in highly vulnerable areas and 5,480 reside in moderately vulnerable areas. The socio-economic vulnerability index implies that barangays Bancaan, Bucana Malaki, Bucana Sasahan, Munting Map no, and Timalan Concepcion are ranked highly vulnerable while barangays Labac, Mabulo, Bagong Kalsada, and Timalan Balsahan are moderately vulnerable. The best way to reduce the casualties that the sea level rise may bring is to relocate all of the population and let nature take its course. Foreshore development laws should be strictly implemented. Natural breakwaters, seawalls and rip raps are needed by the coastal barangays of Naic, Cavite to lessen the impacts of sea level rise. Adaptation strategies from various action plans can also be put in place for the protection of the shoreline and the coastal communities.
