“…Florida is exemplary of coastal landscapes worldwide with deep histories of complex climate- and anthropogenic-induced biodiversity changes. Currently across the state, but particularly among coastal habitats, people and animals are contending with rising sea levels and temperatures as well as increasingly variable extreme weather patterns, all of which directly impact terrestrial and aquatic environments and biota, including marine, estuarine, riverine, and freshwater coastlines, surrounding terrestrial landscapes, and associated animal biodiversity [56,57,58,59,60]. Furthermore, there are significant cultural, social, technological, and economic consequences of such environmental changes, particularly for coastal populations and industries tied to environmental and animal biodiversity (e.g., industrial fisheries, recreational fisheries, aquatic farming, ecotourism, property value and development) [61,62,63].…”
