Abstract:
Sea level has been rising along the west Florida coast, including Sarasota Bay, and is projected to rise at an accelerated rate because of global warming. The Sarasota Bay National Estuary Program and Tampa Bay Regional Planning Council desire to know the bay management implications of sea level in 2020, 2065, and 2115 AD. Relative sea level and the absolute vertical position of mean higher high water is derived by two methods. This article describes these two methods.
