Miami has been described as "ground zero" for climate change and sea level rise." [90] The Miami-Dade County Office of Resilience has implemented climate programs and a Climate Action Plan, [91] [92] and there is a Sea Level Rise Committee. [93] Protecting the water supply and the Biscayne Aquifer is a priority. [23] [24] [25]
Sea level rise. The global average sea level has risen about 25 centimetres (9.8 in) since 1880. [ 1] Sea surface height change from 1992 to 2019: Blue regions are where sea level has gone down, and orange/red regions are where sea level has risen (the visualization is based on satellite data).

The rising temperature contributes to a rise in sea levels due to melting ice sheets. Other effects on oceans include sea ice decline, reducing pH values and oxygen levels, as well as increased ocean stratification. All this can lead to changes of ocean currents, for example a weakening of the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC). [2]
Sea levels are rising, swamping roads and homes in South Florida. And it’s picked up the pace in recent years. In the last 80 years, sea level rise has risen about a foot, with 8 inches of that ...
South Florida sits on a base of porous limestone rock, akin to a sponge cast out of concrete. When sea levels rise along the coast, they also rise under our feet, pushing water close to the surface.
In South Florida, sea levels have already risen several inches since the start of the century and could be around six feet higher by 2100. But another factor could be making those sunny day floods ...

Sea level rise, driven by unchecked human greenhouse gas emissions, has gradually made king tides higher, meaning that South Florida’s 80-something-year-old canal system fails more often.
