MORE THREATS TO GULF OF MEXICO
Leaking oil isn't the only threat to the Gulf of Mexico and surrounding
coastal communities. Rising sea levels also pose dangers to wetlands
and habitats of commercially important fish and wildlife, according to
the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
A new research project led by Scott Hagen of the University of Central
Florida will develop computer models to predict sea level rises and the
impacts of storms along the Gulf Coast. The study area will range from
Mississippi to the Florida panhandle, a stretch chosen for its
relatively pristine ecosystems and existing monitoring infrastructure,
making it an ideal "sentinel site" for climate change impacts.
The study will produce models that can help ecosystem and natural
resource managers in their planning for potential sea level rises. The
model may also help oil spill responders understand the long-term
effects of the oil on the Gulf's ecosystems.
