1 Sea-Level Rise Trends, Projections, & Adaptation Planning for Collier County NOAA Workshop February 27, 2018 Michael Savarese Florida Gulf Coast University

2 Talk Outline 1. Causes of SLR. 2. Current trends & incipient effects of SLR in Southwest FL. 3. Future projections. 4. A path to adaptation for Collier County.

3 Part I: Science of Sea-Level Rise

4 Regional Regional Global Greenland: 7.2 m / 24 ft Antarctica: 70 m / 230 ft Global 52% of SLR IPCC 2001

5 Part II: Trends & Incipient Effects

6 Tide Gauge Station

7 Naples / mm / yr Key West / mm / yr

8 Jason / TOPEX Satellites

9 Global Average Sea Levels Inferred From Tide-Gauge & Satellite Data 83 mm (3 ) since mm (8 ) since 1870 SW FL follows the global average. No significant regional effects. Church, J.A. and White, N.J. (2006)

10 Coring Sediments / Sediment Stratigraphy

11 : Supratidal / subaerial sands. 2: Intertidal mangrove peat. 3: Vermetiform-dominated shallow subtidal reef. 4: Oyster-dominated intertidal brackish reef.

12 Sea-level Curve for Southwest Florida Last 5,000 Years Best fit hand drawn curve Florida s Coastal Geomorphology Develops During This Time Savarese, 2014

13 Building the geomorphology: barrier islands & Ten Thousand Islands develop when SLR rates are low Horseshoe Keys, Estero Bay

14 Ten Thousand Islands Geomorphology 10TI prograde to create bays

15 Red Mangroves Invading Eleocharis Freshwater Marsh

16 Case study: Mangrove Expansion Ten Thousand Islands NWR Mangrove Area 1927: 5,403 ha 2005: 7,281 ha 35% Increase Up-slope migration In situ elevation adjustment Krauss et al J. Coast. Conserv. 15,

17 Pocking in the Ten Thousand Islands National Wildlife Refuge Andres & Savarese, 2016

18 Andres & Savarese, 2015 West: beheaded & reduced sheetflow East: pristine sheetflow opposing SLR EAST Total # Ponds Total Pond Area (m 2 ) Average Pond Area (m 2 ) , , % CHANGE WEST Total # Ponds Total Pond Area (m 2 ) Average Pond Area (m 2 ) , , % CHANGE Quantitative Assessment

19 Hoye, 2008 Southwest Everglades Evidence of initiation, growth, and merger of ponds at different scales

20 Effects upon barrier islands Saltern Formation Islands within RBNERR

21 Barrier Island Instability, Erosion, and Migration Back-barrier Mangroves on Beach Keewaydin Island Erosional Dune Scarp After Debby Keewaydin Island

22 Hurricane Irma Erosion, Southern Keewaydin Island

23 Trends in Florida s Beach Erosion Data from DEP s Critically Eroded Beaches and FL Assessment of Coastal Trends reports

24 Part III: Projections for the Future NOAA s Climate & Weather Supercomputer

25 SLR Projections for 21 st Century IPCC, 2013 RCP 4.5 Paris Accord RCP 8.5 Business as Usual NOAA, 2017

26 Sea-level Curve for Southwest Florida Last 5,000 Years Best fit hand drawn curve Savarese, 2014

27 Combining Sea-level Curves Incipient Geomorphic Change Geomorphic Loss Coastal Geomorphic Development

28 SLR Exacerbates Effects of Storms It is during passage of storms that effects become catastrophic. Storm surge + wave height + SLR! Why landscapes don t flood like bathtubs: attenuating effects of physiography. Green infrastructure beneficial.

29 The Role of Mangroves in Reducing Coastal Inundation (Sheng and Zou, 2017, Hydrobiologia) Mangroves prevented massive flooding in Miami Dade County during Hurricane Andrew! Green infrastructure as a buffer for storm surge, wave, and inundation. With vegetation Vegetation removed

30 Part IV: Path to Adaptation for SWFL

31 NOAA-NCCOS Project A Web-based Interactive Decision-support Tool for Adaptation of Coastal Urban and Natural Ecosystems (ACUNE) in SWFL. Drs. Peter Sheng (UF) & Michael Savarese (FGCU). A 3-year project funded at ~$1M. RESTORE Act, Deepwater Horizon settlement monies. Not your typical science award! Tools for decision makers. The proposal s success: Robust science & strong collaboration with resource planners and elected officials. 3 phased approach: (1) use best available science to generate scenarios of environmental effects; (2) employ the best science to develop viable plans for adaptation; and (3) eventually engineer a plan in anticipation. ACCR: Alliance for Collier s Coastal Resilience!

34 Dynamic Modeling A Robust Coastal Model ACMS (CH3D-SWAN) JPM-Optimal Sampling to develop a Storm Ensemble Study Domain Products: Inundation maps Coastal vulnerability maps Salinity distribution maps Economic impact maps , 2100 For a variety of SLR magnitudes & storm conditions

35 Simulation of Hurricane Irma

36 Example Inundation Maps for Early and Late 21 st Century RCP 4.5 1ft SLR RCP 4.5 3ft SLR

37 Ensuring Success My observations / recommendations... Requires a grass roots effort: engage the community in education & discussion. Engage decision makers & local government. Find common ground. Involve them in all aspects of the process. Bring together natural & urban resource managers. Ensure process is complete: heurism, planning, implementation.
