50 Seychelles Damage, Loss and Needs Assessment (DaLA) 2013 Floods Figure A3.3 Time Series of Mahé Island Monthly Sea-Level Anomaly SLA = + 0.1426x – 284.91 1992 1993 1994 1995 1996 1997 1998 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 Projection The Seychelles is highly vulnerable to climate change. It is concluded that it is likely (50–80%) that rainfall for the December–February season and the annual rainfall will increase, and it is unlikely to increase in the June– August season (20–40%). In addition, as indicated by the recent event in late January, trends over the past years indicate that the Seychelles is becoming subject to more erratic rainfall patterns with short bursts of intense rain in hourly periods rather than more extended periods of steady rainfall over 2–3 days. This pattern may have contributed to the recent flooding of January 27–28, 2013, which included flooding in low-lying areas, landslides, and contaminated runoff breaking through natural barriers along the coast to the beaches and the coastal zone. Coastal Inundation and Erosion Seychelles’ coastal zones are under almost constant pressure from both natural and man-made causes. Anse Kerlan on Praslin is a case in which human interference has completely destabilized the coastline. Erosion-sensitive sites on Mahé and Praslin are being lost at an average of between 1 and 3 meters per year (Tsunami Disaster Task Force 2005 and the Seychelles’ Nation 1998). Noticeable changes in the wave energy reaching the shores have occurred during the past decade. Greater wave energy results in greater erosion of the beaches. Climate change will exacerbate these problems and lead to further destabilization of the coastline. Flooding in the low-lying areas is already becoming more pronounced, especially with the occurrence of storms that coincide with the spring tides. The recent floods fit within this pattern and were further compounded by the lack of appropriate drainage and highdensity developments (as discussed in the section on damage and losses in the environment sector). Trends Erosion along some of the coastlines has caused the roots of existing coastal vegetation to be denuded, as is the case at Anse Sevère on La Digue, and as a result, breaks at certain spots and beach cliffs are formed. Similar effects have been seen on Mahé at Anse aux Pins beach as a result of the recent disaster.
