All of the predicted and currently occurring changes shown in Table 1 will result in an array of impacts to our
                  populations around the Salish Sea and throughout BC . Figure 6 .5 depicts many of the possible consequences
                  of changes in climate in BC .
                  The many different impacts associated with climate change will require significant and creative adaptation
                  measures to manage the increased consequences and risks to our shorelines . These are discussed in Chapter 8 .

                     BOTTOM LINE:


                        Climate change is happening in BC and we are starting to see
                       impacts to our marine, freshwater and terrestrial ecosystems, our communities

                            and livelihoods. This will include significant impacts to our shoreline,
                                             discussed further in the next chapter.
