Join the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) for an upcoming Resiliency Coordination Forum to promote additional collaboration on water management and resiliency initiatives between local, state, federal and tribal partners.

With approximately 700 miles of shoreline and 40+ gravity coastal structures upstream of tidally influenced canals, the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD)’s water management mission is influenced by sea levels. Along with rainfall and surge, high tide events also contribute to flood risks in South Florida. The variation in strength and direction of the gravitational pull of the moon, especially during the new and full moon phases in the Fall, contributes to King Tide occurrences.  

The South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) is actively addressing the impacts of rising sea levels, extreme weather events, and changing rainfall and flood patterns. As part of our ongoing efforts, we are encouraging stakeholders and the public to share their comments on the Draft 2024 District Sea Level Rise and Flood Resiliency Plan.
