    The Florida Native Plant Society held their annual conference this past weekend at Crystal River, where sea level rise is an obvious phenomenon and there's accurate tide gauge data for St. Pete and Cedar Key. Rising sea level has been among the factors affecting the springs (70 of them at least), and shorelines and vegetation have changed substantially. Tree islands gradually disappear and salt marsh turns to open water.
    New houses now have Keys-like requirements for everything to be out of reach of storm surges. For the longer term, it's pretty much accepted that the community has a limited life span.
    Experts figure sea level rise is accelerating. Just how fast is uncertain, partly because it's difficult to make predictions about the Antarctic ice sheets behave. A lot of the more conservative and widely-used estimates have lowballed Antarctica because of that uncertainty, and that's made nasty surprises possible.
