Space Coast Climate Change Initiative
The Space Coast Climate Change Initiative (SCCCI) was established in 2007 to assist local governments in the implementation of adaptive management plans to address global climate change and the impacts on Florida's coastal communities. The SCCCI's mission is to facilitate the exchange of ideas between experts, policy-makers, and the general public in the pursuit of strategies to mitigate and adapt to the local consequences of sea-level rise. The SCCCI is initially promoting assessments of municipal vulnerability and adaptive management of the built and natural environment as the best means to establish resilience to sea-level rise.

NOAA Sea Level Rise Viewer
Hosted by the NOAA Coastal Services Center's Digital Coast, this online mapping tool allows users to observe the effects of sea level rise on U.S. coasts. Being able to visualize potential impacts from sea level rise can be a powerful teaching and planning tool, and the Sea Level Rise Viewer brings this capability to coastal communities.

Local Land Use Response to Sea Level Rise
This report summarizes selected local land use ordinances and regulations that include specific mention of sea level rise or that incorporate appropriate policy responses that may be used to address sea level rise. While developed for The Nature Conservancy Long Island, it is a useful resource for any coastal state.
