TAMPA, Fla. — Scientists are expected to talk Thursday morning at the Hillsborough County Environmental Protection Commission meeting about the rising sea levels.
Tide gauges in Tampa Bay have recorded water levels rising at the rate of 1 inch per decade since the 1940s, a rate that scientists predict is likely to increase.
The latest projections indicate that water levels in Tampa Bay will rise higher, more quickly, than projections made just a few years ago.
The meeting starts at 9 a.m. Thursday at the Hillsborough County Center. It is open to the public.
