Sea-level
rise increasing at faster rate around Aotearoa New Zealand – Correction
to Media release
15 September 2022
We have corrected the fourth paragraph, second
sentence below to ‘The rate of sea level rise has doubled in the 60 years
to 2020 at three out of the four sites, Wellington, Lyttelton and Dunedin,
compared with the mean rate from 1901 through to 1960′, to be consistent
with the data provided in the sea-level rise indicator webpage. Previously
it read ‘The rate of sea-level rise has doubled in the last 60 years, compared
with the mean rate from when records first began through to 1960.’
