(SLR) .were initially <br />developed by federal, state, .and local government agencies in the early 2000s.. 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, NOAH, <br />and the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC(Figure 9.15). . <br />According to the revised projection the region may experience between 14 and 34 inches of sea level <br />rise (above 1992 mean sea leveD by 2060. <br />Community Development Department Indian River County 24 <br />APPENDIX A <br />
