Coastal managers can make better decisions and possibly save millions of dollars through a computer model that helps them to understand the long-term effects of major storms, sea-level rise and beach restoration activities and possibly save millions of dollars. The model uses 154 years of storm and erosion data following tropical storms and hurricanes that hit Santa Rosa Island, off Florida’s Panhandle, and sea-level rise projections to predict beach habitat changes over the next 90 years....
