How much would a sea wall around Miami or Shanghai cost?
- nradov 5y agoA sea wall around Miami wouldn't help due to the karst substrate; water would flow through the limestone channels under any wall. The main concern with sea level rise in South Florida isn't that the seawater will come in but that rainwater won't drain away. There will have to be a huge investment in pumping systems.
