Potential Impacts on Water Management from Rising Sea Level
• Flood Protection (flooding, storm surge, hurricanes, coastal structures, groundwater)
• Drinking Water Supply (saltwater intrusion, freshwater wells)
• Natural Environment (Southern Everglades, coastal wetlands)

SEFL Regional Climate Change Compact’s Shoreline Resilience Working Group
• Scope: All forms of natural, “living” and hybrid grey-green approaches to coastal defense that protect the SEFL mainland or the Florida Keys.
• Timeline: 2014-2016 or longer
• Goal: Improve coastal defense in the Compact region by increasing the efficacy, number and scale of nature-based erosion control and flood attenuation projects.
