Coastal hazard risk increase due to reef degradation: Florida
![Four aerial photos of the southern part of Florida labeled with asset and people loss due to elevation and erosion degradation.](https://d9-wret.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/assets/palladium/production/s3fs-public/styles/full_width/public/thumbnails/image/FL_Degrade_Poster_OpenFileReport.jpg?itok=BBA1JN47)
Detailed Description
Four scenarios for the southern part of the Florida coastline show the increase in annual coastal hazard risk due to projected coral reef degradation.
