One-NOAA Event Discusses Pressing Issue of Sea Level Rise in Coastal Alabama and the Florida Panhandle
Local, state, and federal entities, including a large number of NOAA offices, came together at the Gulf Ecology Division Laboratory of the Environmental Protection Agency in Gulf Breeze, Florida January 23-24, to discuss the scientific, management and modeling information needed to understand and mitigate the effects of Sea Level Rise on coastal Alabama and the Florida Panhandle. The Ecological Effects of Sea Level Rise Workshop was organized by the National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science’s Center for Sponsored Coastal Ocean Research (CSCOR) with assistance from the Coastal Services Center’s Gulf Coast Services Center, the Environmental Protection Agency, and Apalachicola National Estuarine Research Reserve. The National Geodetic Survey, the Center for Operational Oceanographic Products and Services, and the Coast Survey Development Lab all contributed information. The knowledge gained through this workshop will form the basis of the expansion of CSCOR’s Ecological Effects of Sea Level Rise (EESLR) program to this region.
