When it comes to destination for goods, APEC, NAFTA and the European Union remain the top three . The EU in second place in prior years is now third due to exports decreasing by 6.3% and NAFTA exports increasing by 14 .3%. Traffic wise, Port Canaveral saw it's cargo tonnage decrease by 13.2% in the post 12 months compared to the previous 12 months . Additionally, the cargo inflow percentage share increased, reducing the outflow shore of traffic through the port; the fluctuation can be attributed to the varying needs for the types of goods passing through the port.

Memo TO: FROM: DATE: RE: David Greene City Manager Jeff Ratliff PWS Director November 24, 2014 NOAA Seminar Summary Public Works Services Seminar Goals and Content. Thank you for allowing me to attend the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA ) Seminar entitled "Climate Adaptation for Coastal Communities" in Daytona Beach on November 18-20. Staff will use concepts from the seminar in upcoming discussions with Waste Management concerning a possible Sustainability Plan for the City. In addition, these concepts will be used in future planning of infrastructure improvement projects . The course goal was as follows: Understand fundam ental con cepts, latest information , and necessary skills to proactively address climate impacts in coastal communities. Although the concept of global warming was discussed , a majority of the seminar was spent discussing future impacts from rising sea level on Florida coastal communities . The Climate Adaptation Seminar was divided into six sections as follows : • Introduction and Definition of Terms -climate adaptation definitions ; • Climate Science -comprehending processes and impacts of climate ; • Vulnerability Assessment -determination of future at-risk infrastructure; • Adaptation Planning -community planning for impacts of climate change; • Climate Communication -presentation to and interaction with stakeholders; and • Implementation -performance of climate adaptation measures. Additional details of these six principles are included in the seminar work book available upon request. Resources providing additional information concerning climate adaptation are attached. Sea Level Rise Projections. Estimated sea level rise for the remainder of the 21 51 century was extensively discussed and results from various computer models were reviewed . In most cases, Florida coastal communities can take measures to delay the immediate impacts of sea level rise. However, some Florida coastal communities will eventually have no option but to "retreat" from coastal areas due to low land elevations. Due to impending sea level rise (currently approximately 2.7 millimeters per year), Florida coastal communities should prepare now in the planning and construction phases of infrastructure improvement projects. Several computer model predictions of sea level rise are included on the attached maps: Map #I (2020): Sea level rise of +2 feet in Cape Canaveral. Indicates small , low-lying areas along the Banana River and Atlantic Ocean will be submerged. Map #2 (2060): Sea level rise of +4 feet in Cape Canaveral. Indicates large, low-lying areas in the northwestern portion of the City will be submerged. Map #3 (>21 00): Sea level rise of +8 feet in Cape Canaveral. Indicates a majority of the City will be submerged with the exception of the North Atlantic Avenue and SR AlA corridors. Map #4 (>2100): Sea level rise of +8 feet in peninsular Florida . Indicates the Everglades , the Florida Keys and most barrier islands will be submerged. Large areas along the St. Johns River and Lake Okeechobee will also be submerged . Monday.

CLIMATE CHA NGl: D ATA AND ODE LI N G NOAA Climate Service: www.climate.gov NOAA embarked upon an ambitious program to develop a NOAA Climate Services Portal (NCS Portal). To date, the site has focused on developing the infrastructure and capacity to showcase a w ide breadth of climate information to users . The content highlights some of the most popular data sets/products based on customer usage of the data . The goal is for the Portal to become the "go-to" website for NOAA's climate data, products, and services for all users . NOAA Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Lab : http://nomads.gfdl.noaa.gov/CM2 .X/ The GFDL CM2 .x models have become the workhorse model for GFDL's climate research . They are being applied to topics focusing on decadal -to-centennial time scale issues (including multi- century control experiments and climate change projections), as well as to seasonal -to- interannual problems, such as El Nino research and experimental forecasts. The CM2 .x models represent a clean break from previous generations of GFDL climate models. All the main coupled model components (the atmosphere, ocean, sea ice, and land surface models) were developed from new code sets . Educational Global Climate Modeling : http://edgcm.columbta.edu/ Educational Global Climate Modeling {EdGCM) provides a research -grade Global Climate Model with a user-friendly interface that can be run on a desktop computer . Users can explore the subject of climate change in the same way that actual research scientists do . Climate Wizard: www climatewtzard org A web-based mapping program that allows non-technical as well as techn ical users to view historic and projected future temperature and ra infall maps around the world (with finer-scale data for the United States).
