And I think that\u2019s the one thing we\u2019re probably weakest on right now in South Florida, is how do we transition in this future sea level rise, when we have three feet, six feet of sea level rise?\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Part of the redesign of Florida\u2019s coastal infrastructure includes using nature-based green solutions like sponge parks.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Other solutions including upgrading flood control and transit systems to withstands rising seas and increased storms.<\/p>\n<p>Copyright 2026 Sunbeam Television Corp.
