Naval Air Station Key West, Florida
NAS Key West, a 5,800-acre installation providing critical training and support for US military operations, faces significant risks from rising sea levels. Projections for the Florida Keys indicate sea levels could rise between 3.8 and 6.2 feet this century, threatening land that currently sits at elevations of three feet or less. The document argues that a large gap exists between current military preparedness and these threats, calling for increased funding for high-resolution flooding models, tide gauge networks, and detailed mapping to implement long-term adaptive measures.
