UF Center for coastal solutions
Florida’s coasts are facing an increasing array of complex, interconnected challenges, including impacts of sea-level rise, flooding, red tide, erosion and more frequent and severe storms. These significant and growing risks affect communities, businesses, infrastructure and ecosystems across the state. The Center for Coastal Solutions works across disciplines to quickly deliver advanced, integrated science and decision-making support to enable stakeholders to analyze, manage and reduce risks.
