Steps are being taken now more than ever to try to minimize the effects of these human impacts as well as to try to combat sea level rise in high-risk areas Like Miami. Things like creating massive stormwater reservoirs and pumps to drain water from big storms and floods. They are also raising the level of the ground and housing in places that are already affected greatly by flooding, primarily on the coast. The biggest thing they are doing is restoring the natural barriers like mangrove forests and oyster beds, which were previously destroyed by the draining of water for agriculture and urbanization of the Miami area. Already, more than 800 million dollars have been put into these massive projects. Even though a lot is being done now to combat these things, many think it is too late because of how rapidly the sea level is rising again due to climate change, melting polar ice, which is constantly pushing more and more water into the oceans at an increasing rate.
The same things that are happening in Miami, caused by human impact and climate change, are happening in a place that is pretty much on the other side of the world. Jakarta Indonisia just like Miami, is battling its soil sinking up to 10 inches a year due to groundwater extraction, and lots of coastal flooding due to sea level rise. Like Miami, Jakarta is a coastal hub that supplies much of Indonesia with importing, exporting, and economically, and it's even the capital city of Indonesia, but the impact on the region has become too great for its government, that they have given up on restoration. And now they are opting to just make a new capital, which will be called Nusantara, located on the island of Borneo.
The Anthropogenic impact on Miami and the Everglades
The anthropogenic impact humans have had on the Everglades have transformed it from a natural buffer into a high risk area that is affecting Miami's infrastructure. The main anthropogenic influence was the draining of a great amount of the Everglades' shallow water environment for the purpose of agriculture and the urbanization of towns and cities in the area, mainly the Miami-Dade area. This had a big impact on the stability of the soil, and the ground has been sinking for a long time, which is a major problem for people in cities who run the risk of their homes sinking underground. Other impacts were the massive loss of habitat for animals like the wood stork because water levels are too high or too low in the places they nest and breed. Climate change from carbon emissions in big cities like Miami arent helping itself either with the ice caps melting. Miami gets closer and closer to having whole parts of the city flood and become submerged. Globally, the issue in other places like Miami and Jakarta is similar, and soon there will be more because global warming, as of right now, is not slowing down much, and the polar ice is continuing to melt. Places that have added a massive anthropogenic impact on top of climate change and melting ice have pretty much doomed themselves because even one of these could destroy environments and cities. It is now clearer than ever that anthropogenic impact all over the world is the main contributor to climate change that leads to the destruction of these great cities and the environments surrounding them.
