Some ecosystems can move inland with the high-water mark, but others are prevented from migrating due to natural or artificial barriers.

Sea level rise of 0.2–0.3 meters is likely by 2050. In these conditions what is currently a 100-year flood would occur every year in the New Zealand cities of Wellington and Christchurch. With 0.5 m sea level rise, a current 100-year flood in Australia would occur several times a year.
