New Jersey is at risk from future sea level rise and coastal flooding according to an article from Climate Central. The author notes that most current coastal floods are caused by human-caused climate change raising sea levels rather than winds or tides. The article provides information on sea level rise projections and impacts to the state from rising oceans based on different greenhouse gas emission scenarios. Resources for learning more about these risks are listed at the end.

It’s us. That’s true for most of the
coastal floods we now experience.”
