All these impacts are projected to escalate under future climate change, but their magnitude depends on the amount of warming, the socioeconomic development pathway and implementation of adaptation strategies . Modelling studies  suggest that responses of estuaries to SLR will be complex and context dependent , but project that salinity, tidal range, storm-surge amplitude, depth and stratification will increase with SLR , and that marine-dominated waters will penetrate farther upstream . Without careful management of freshwater inputs, sediment augmentation and/or the restoration of shorelines to more natural states, transformation and loss of intertidal areas and wetland vegetation will increase with SLR  , with small, shallow microtidal estuaries being more vulnerable to impacts than deeper estuaries with well-developed sediments  . Warming and MHWs will enhance stratification and deoxygenation in shallow lagoons   and will continue to drive range shifts among estuarine biota
