Aotea is located near south of Raglan, New Zealand. These two photos are both taken in the same place above the same house. The first was taken in 2/1/1965. The second was taken in 25/8/2013. Comparing the two, anyone can see that the sea levels have risen and a combination of that and erosion has lead to the land reducing size. A fair chunk of the land has been eroded and a house is gone along with the surrounding bush.

No matter what people say is the cause of the change, with this, no one can deny that sea levels are rising and that the land is falling away as sea levels continue to do so. Imagine what Whitianga could look like if the same happened here.

This may be the final post for this blog. The purpose of this blog is for people to make people aware that sea levels are rising and invoke action among the community. For those who read it, I hope this blog helps!
