AGENDA ITEM WORDING: Update on sea level rise projections in Monroe County and anticipated
effects on infrastructure and habitat.
ITEM BACKGROUND: As part of the development of the County's Sustainability Action Plan and
Climate Change Modeling initiative ("GreenKeys!"), a presentation will be provided that summarizes
preliminary modeling results of the impacts to Monroe County expected from sea level rise in 2030 and
2060, focused on County infrastructure and habitat.
This overview will provide background for a final report that will be generated as part of the GreenKeys!
Sustainability Action Plan. It will identify recommendations for projects and data to collect in the future as
the impacts of sea level rise become more pronounced in the County.
No BOCC decision is required based on the data presented in this update. Ultimately, this information will
be incorporated into the final GreenKeys! Plan which will be presented in the beginning of 2015 for BOCC
action at that time.
