Summary:
The Florida Oceans and Coastal Council prepared this report to provide a foundation for future discussions of the effects of global climate change on Florida’s ocean and coastal resources, and to inform Floridians about the current state of scientific knowledge regarding climate change and how it is likely to affect Florida. It provides important information for legislators, policymakers, governmental agencies, a n d memb e r s o f t h e p u b l i c wh o a r e working to address, or who are interested in, issues related to climate change in Florida. The Council anticipates that the report will be updated periodically, and has recommended a number of research priorities for ocean and coastal research to improve levels of certainty about how climate change will affect Florida.
