For as long as humans have been inhabiting coastal areas and recording what occurs in their environments, coastal zones have been defined through dynamic interactions. And this is further underlined by a more recent development: observed sea level rise. In a thorough but not overly technical approach, Adapting to Sea Level Rise in the Coastal Zone: Law and Policy Considerations provides a legal-policy framework for facing the challenges of sea level rise. The book includes an analysis of sea level rise adaptation strategies that examines the legal impacts of coastal land use decisions based on the current interpretation of private property rights in relation to public control over those rights. The author discusses the science behind sea level rise and highlights policy complexities and options. He then presents an overview of related legalities, and bringing it all together, applies the principles offered in the book, concluding with strategies and solutions and a perspective on the future. If we accept the premise that sea level rise is occurring and will continue for the foreseeable future, then we must begin to consider policy responses to this risk in coastal regions. Part of any pragmatic policy response must include a review of the options available to public institutions when developing and implementing rational adaptation policies. This book offers practical legal/policy approaches to sea level rise adaptation that promotes sound planning in the face of climate change and rising seas.

This paper examines strategies for adaptation to sea level rise in Florida. The majority of the scientific community now agrees that sea levels are rising at greater than historic rates due to anthropogenic climate change. Though precise estimates are not possible, the International Panel for Climate Change (FCC) 2007 report projects a sea level rise of 7 to 23 inches by the year 2100. Other analysis predict a rise that could be closer to 36 inches. This rise in sea level will create a variety of issues including land use conflicts caused by seawater inundation, property loss and damage, saltwater intrusion into freshwater bodies, increased coastal erosion, and increases in storm surge. The Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council in a 2005 report summarizes the importance of planning for sea level rise in Florida by stating that, "the prospect of sea level rise is of particular concern to the State Of Florida because of its expansive coastline, low elevations and fiat topography, economic dependence of the tourism industry' on beaches and coastal resources, and significant public and private investment in coastal areas" (TCRPC 2005). The necessity to respond to sea level rise in Florida is undeniable, and these responses must be guided by long range planning that addresses a variety Of complex issues such as habitat conservation and working waterfront industries. At risk development may respond to sea level rise through shoreline protection and hardening, adaptation and accommodation, or by retreating from the coastline. Discussion of how to respond to sea level rise has generally focused on the concept Of managed retreat and associated policies. Managed retreat is essentially the act of moving development away from coastal hazards in a planned and controlled manner, and this document recommends managed retreat as basis for all responses to sea level rise. Discussions on managed retreat do not generally propose solutions for shoreline management that anticipate the inevitable coastal protection that will occur, particularly in areas of high density and high value development. Ecologically and financially sustainable shoreline management strategies that address coastal protection must be seriously explored. Realistic solutions to sea level rise also need to be explored from a design and graphic standpoint and applied to specific sites. The purpose of this study is to explore ecologically and financially sustainable recommendations and strategies for coastal development response to rising sea levels in Florida. The focus is on the effects caused by inland sea water inundation with a secondary focus on shoreline erosion, and increased storm events. Managed retreat and shoreline protection strategies are graphically examined for various coastal conditions. Additional tools and information are outlined for the use of policy makers including information on policy options, goals and objectives, design guidelines for 'areas likely to be inundated', and step-by- step recommendations for response.
