Rising sea levels getting bigger each year
It is time to start planning to counter the sea level rise, which is increasing faster and faster as years go by. If we do nothing, the whole Wellington harbour will overfill, inundating the city and the Hutt valley
I suggest designing a dam across the entrance, with 2 ship locks to allow access and departures. It could go between Breaker Bay and Pencarrow.
There must also be a powered pumped outflow over the dam from the inner harbour into the ocean to keep the inner harbour and its surroundings safe.
And yes, it will "cost a lot of money" but the cost of NOT doing it will be many times worse.

The goal is to keep these spaces open for those who truly need them. Do you think this big increase in the fine is fair? Share your thoughts below.
