Florida is one of the most vulnerable areas of the globe in regards to the threat that sea level rise presents. The Florida peninsula is a porous plateau of karst limestone sitting atop bedrock known as the Florida Platform. The vast majority of development occurs on the state’s coastal regions. Much of Florida has an elevation of less than 3.6576m (12 ft), with its most heavily populated areas along the Southeastern coast being at an elevation below 1.2192m (4 ft).Current projections indicate that by the end of the century the minimum amount of sea level rise will be 1.2192m (4 ft).[1]
