Impact on Biodiversity

One significant impact of climate change on the Florida Keys is sea level rise. As global temperatures rise, polar ice melts, and ocean waters expand, contributing to higher sea levels. The Florida Keys, being low-lying islands, are particularly vulnerable to this phenomenon.

Economic Impact

The Florida Keys rely heavily on tourism, and the impacts of climate change, such as coral reef degradation and extreme weather events, can have economic consequences for the region.

Extreme Weather Events

Climate change is associated with an increase in the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events such as hurricanes and storms. The Florida Keys are at risk of experiencing more severe weather events, which can lead to flooding, erosion, and damage to infrastructure.
