Lockeport’s location on the Atlantic coast shapes both the character of our community and many of the challenges we face. The Town is working to better understand environmental change, strengthen coastal resilience, and make informed decisions that help protect our community, infrastructure, and natural environment for the future.
The Town of Lockeport is taking steps to protect our vulnerable coastal areas. This includes upgrading infrastructure to withstand sea-level rise and storm surges, as well as management plans to reduce the risk of erosion and flooding.
Climate change adaptation in Nova Scotia, as in many regions around the world, has become an increasingly important issue due to the changing climate and its potential impacts on the environment, economy, and communities. Nova Scotia, a coastal province in eastern Canada, faces several challenges related to climate change, including rising sea levels, more frequent and severe storms, and changing weather patterns.
