Rising ocean temperatures, mainly due to greenhouse gas emissions, threaten Florida's coastal economy and could cost $990bn this century.

Rising ocean temperatures, mainly due to greenhouse gas emissions, threaten coastal economies worldwide. Florida's ocean-based tourism and recreation support 320,000 jobs and $13.5bn in goods & services. Warmer oceans cause sea-level rise, storm intensification, and disruptions to marine life. These factors contribute to flooding, infrastructure damage, and impacts on agriculture, potentially costing $990bn this century.
