Circa 2009, <br />development of consistent regional climate change adaptation strategies became the basis for <br />formation of the Southeast Florida Regional Climate Change Compact (SFRCCC), which was <br />represented by four coastal counties, Monroe, Miami -Dade, Broward, and Palm -Beach. The <br />SFRCCC created a Unified Sea Level Rise Projection for Southeast Florida in 2011 based on U.S. <br />Army Corps of Engineers Engineering Circulars guidance documents, historical tidal data from Key <br />West (,1913-1999), and available scientic literature on the subject at the time. This Unified SLR <br />Projection was later revised in 2015 based on updated guidance documents from USACE, NOAA, <br />and the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) (Figure 9.15). <br />According to the revised moiection the reeion may experience between 14 and 34 inches of sea level <br />rise (above 1992 mean sea level) by 2060. <br />Community Development Department Indian River County 24 <br />Appendix B <br />
