We have lived on an Intracoastal waterway in St. Petersburg Beach for 25 years; right next to a bridge over that waterway. We are 2 clicks from the Gulf of Mexico. Every fishing boat from the Boca Ciega basin area comes under that twice bridge every day. Some of these boats only clear the bridge by 6-8”. We have never heard a captain, and we know many, ever talk about rising sea levels or worry about clearing the bridge.
We have a ladder that hangs from our dock into the waterway...the markings on the ladder haven’t changed in 25 years...not a 1/4”!
Thank you! May I quote you?
