sea level rise

A University of Miami study looked at forty years worth of data from across the Atlantic and found cooler waters in deep currents off the U.S. coast could be warming.

The new report suggests nearly all coastal communities face the threat of significant "critical infrastructure" impacts over the next 25 years.

Mangroves tamper down waves, keeping shorelines from eroding. They are being chopped down faster than they can be replaced.

Florida's population is growing and getting older. Sea level rise is prompting people, especially young workers, to move inland while aging residents stay on the coast.

Water temperatures in the mid-90s (mid-30s Celsius) are threatening delicate coral reefs, depriving swimmers of cooling dips and adding a bit more ick to the state's already oppressive summer weather.

The report from the University of Florida and 1000 Friends of Florida found a 23 percent increase in population and just under a foot of sea rise could wipe out a million acres.

As sea levels rise, saltwater intrusion and heat will create challenges for certain plants and trees to survive in the coming years, and Florida is on the front lines.

Rising seas will shift tidal boundaries, leading to the loss of taxable properties, according to a new study. This is expected to impact the tax base of hundreds of U.S. coastal counties, with Florida being the state most affected.

A bill to address the impacts of sea level rise and flooding has been approved by the Florida legislature and is heading to the governor's desk, where it is expected to be signed into law. Environmentalists say the bill is a step in the right direction but say more needs to be done to address the root cause of climate change.
