Coastal hazards are a fact of life in Florida. Natural disasters such as hurricanes only highlight the effects of high winds, flooding and erosion. Currently, 12 million of Florida's citizens work and live within 10 miles of the coast. Florida Sea Grant supports research that provides resource managers, emergency managers, and community leaders with accurate information on which to base sound policy decisions.
