Florida... One big Coastal Plain
Florida is intimately linked with the sea. All of Florida lies within the coastal plain, with a maximum elevation of 120km above sea level. There is not a single point in the state that is more than 100km from the Atlantic Ocean or the Gulf of Mexico. In some places, those distances are slowly shrinking. The plain fact is that erosion is a constant and natural process that the state must live with.
I read in the local paper today that several property owners in the approved re-nourishment area are threatning civil suits if renourishment attempts are made.
Coastal law is getting a lot more attention these days.
