Lots of coastline eh? |
The previous posts in this series provide various graphs which show various details of tide gauge stations along the coasts of the United States (The US States of Sea Level Change, 2, 3).
I did that because sea level is usually covered in more generic areas such as oceans or satellite observations from space.
These state graphs bring it all home.
One of the main factors involved is how states work with federal agencies and foreign nations to try to deal with sea level change in their jurisdictions.
This working together or not also applies to seaports in states with coastlines.
For example, some states in the past and recently have made it illegal for "sea level rise" or "global warming" related phrases to be used in public papers (Oh say can you see, Florida Isn't Alone: North Carolina, Pennsylvania Ban 'Climate Change' Too, Anti-Education, Red States Ban the Words "Climate Change", A Chronicle of Prohibited Environmental Books in the USA).
Dredd Blog would be banned in some venues I suppose.
Anyway, here are some more PSMSL based graphs for your perusal that detail US tide gauge RLR data by area:

Gulf of Mexico |
