Peak FloridaSolutions
With more-compact development, protection of natural lands and waters and a serious commitment to work on climate change, Florida can preserve the best of what draws so many people here in the first place. We curate seven of the most-fundamental solutions for a livable Florida, according to experts. We look at some of the coastal counties getting serious about sea rise. And finally, we tell the story of tiny Cedar Key, a rare Florida example of a community managing growth and building resilience as it preserves its working heritage and keeps its water clean. Can we all learn something from Florida’s tiniest fishing village?
