 Fields In DangerThe Southeast Florida Climate Compact, in 2012, released a vulnerability assessment. When considering future land use, row and field cropland and plant nurseries (including sod farms and ornamental nurseries) were studied. With just 1 foot of sea level rise (SLR), up to 2,994 inundated acres would be victims of rising seas unless something is done to adapt. With 2 feet of sea level rise, the number increased to 7,746. For 3 feet of SLR, the number was 10,890 acres. |
