Places with historic importance were discussed by a group of scientists about the detrimental effects to a rising sea level in Florida. The Florida Public Archaeology Network (FPAN) put on this event and addressed several questions regarding sea level rise and climate change, how it will effect homeowners and businesses, and most importantly, public ownership of landmarks with historical significance. Thomas Penders, a cultural resource manager, admitted that this problem has already been cutting into the coats of this peninsula, and that every storm just deepens the impacts it has on their beaches and standing structures close to the coast. The Air Force has been working with Florida in recording this data so future generations will have the necessary information to be able to potentially avoid this catastrophe again. Researchers are claiming the coast of Florida should see at least a three to five foot rise in sea level, concluding that these important historic structure either need to be reinforced or elevated.
