South Florida has for years felt the impact of rising sea levels in the state, but the pace is picking up rapidly and is expected to quicken even more, a new report by the Miami Herald shows.
Over the past 80 years, sea levels have risen approximately one foot, with eight inches of that increase occurring in the last 30 years, according to Brian McNoldy, a senior research associate at the University of Miami's Rosenstiel School of Marine, Atmospheric and Earth Science.
