South Florida's Vulnerability to

Sea Level Rise

Everglades and
South Florida

Ll Some of the areas that
could be flooded at high
tide if global warming

causes sea level to rise
2 feet by 2100.

~ Areas that might be
inundated over a period
of several centuries.

The indicated areas account
not only for the effects of
global warming, but also for
other effects such as tidal
