The pacific coast has a Marine climate. The climate includes a mild, moist marine clmate, with warm summer and cool winters. I'm working on climates as well. We just did this in class today. Hope that helps!!

Possible effects of climate change
Sea levels are expected to rise by as much as 30 cm on the north coast of B.C. in the next century, mainly due to warmer ocean temperatures, which lead to thermal expansion much the same way that hot air expands. This could cause increased sedimentation, coastal flooding and permanent inundation of some natural ecosystems, possibly placing low-lying homes, docks and port facilities at risk.
In winter, increased winter precipitation, permafrost degradation and glacier retreat due to warmer temperatures may lead to landslides in unstable mountainous regions, and put fish and wildlife habitat, including salmon-spawning streams, at risk. Glacier reduction could affect the flow and temperature of rivers and streams that depend on glacier water, with potential negative impacts on fish habitat.
Summer droughts along the south coast and in the southern interior of B.C. will mean decreased stream flow in those areas, putting fish survival at risk and reducing water supplies in the dry summer season when irrigation and domestic water use are greatest.
Changes in ocean currents will lower temperatures and force species that require cooler waters to travel further north, increasing migration times and reducing the fish's ability to reach spawning grounds.
