Florida’s corals, seagrasses and mangroves create a rich, diverse set of coastal ecosystems that are critical to marine life and provide recreation and commercial value to Florida’s residents and visitors.
Impacts from carbon pollution are touching virtually every aspect of Florida’s ocean and coasts—from sea-level rise, ocean acidification, warming waters and coral die-offs.
Tackling carbon pollution is essential for protecting the special Florida coastal places that we love.
We must make bold commitments to reduce our emissions to limit future climate change impacts and further sea-level rise. If not, the consequences could be dire for our coastal communities and ecosystems.
