Determination of Current and Future Extreme Sea Levels at the Local Scale in Port-Bouët Bay (Côte d’Ivoire)

doi: 10.3390/jmse11040756
The Port-Bouët Bay shoreline is threatened by extreme sea level (ESL) events, which result from the combination of storm tide, wave run-up, and sea level rise (SLR). This study provides comprehensive scenarios of current and future ESLs at the local scale along the bay to understand the evolution of the phenomenon and promote local adaptation. The methodological steps involve first reconstructing historical storm tide and wave run-up data using a hydrodynamic model (D-flow FM) and the empirical model of Stockdon et al. Second, the Generalized Pareto Distribution (GPD) model fitted to the Peaks-Over-Thresholds (POT) method is applied to the data to calculate extreme return levels. Third, we combine the extreme storm tide and wave run-up using the joint probability method to obtain the current ESLs. Finally, the current ESLs are integrated with recent SLR projections to provide future ESL estimates. The results show that the current ESLs are relatively high, with 100-year return levels of 4.37 m ± 0.51, 4.97 m ± 0.57, and 4.48 m ± 0.5 at Vridi, Petit-Bassam, and Sogefiha respectively. By end-century, under the SSP1-2.6, SSP2-4.5, and SSP5-8.5 scenarios, the future SLR is expected to increase the current ESLs by 0.49 m, 0.62 m, and 0.84 m, respectively. This could lead to a more frequent occurrence of the current 100-year return period, happening once every 2 years by 2100, especially under SSP5-8.5. The developed SLR scenarios can be used to assess the potential coastal flood risk in the study area for sustainable and effective coastal management and planning.
