Florida’s coasts are grappling with a growing set of complex, interrelated challenges, including sea-level rise, increased flooding, red tide outbreaks, erosion, and more frequent, severe storms. These escalating risks threaten communities, businesses, infrastructure, and ecosystems throughout the state. Researchers at the Center for Coastal Solutions take a multidisciplinary approach, utilizing AI, supercomputing, and strategic partnerships to rapidly deliver cutting-edge science and decision-making tools. Their work equips stakeholders with the knowledge and resources needed to assess, manage and mitigate these coastal risks effectively. 

Coastal Decision Support System


The center’s team of trans-disciplinary experts is building a leap-ahead decision support system to help ensure the future livability of coastal waters, ecosystems and communities in Florida and around the world.
