City of St. Augustine and Sea Level Rise: Building a municipal planning strategy for historic resources
KEYNOTE: Weather It Together: A Community-Based Model for Resiliency Planning
Lisa Craig, Chief of Historic Preservation for the City of Annapolis
Dr. Judith A. Bense, President, University of West Florida and Chair of FPAN Board of Directors
Abstract: Archaeology and history are popular with people from all walks of life in the U.S. as evidenced in all forms of media and heritage tourism. However, the public is relatively ignorant of the nature of the physical remnants of the past, their relative importance, fragility and threats. As a consequence, the public is curious about archaeology, how it is done, and how we deduce what must have happened in the past. There are several key things are effective in both satisfying this curiosity and developing a “public responsibility” for cultural resources: attitude, education, engagement, advocacy and grit.

Planning for the future today: climate change and sea level rise are real and happening now - so what do we do?
Randall W. Parkinson, Ph.D., P.G. Senior Scientist and Director, Division of Coastal Zone and Watershed Management, Environmental Remediation & Recovery, Inc.
Dr. Randall W. Parkinson is a coastal geologist with nearly 35 years of professional experience in the southeast US. Since arriving in Florida to complete a Ph.D. program at the University of Miami, he has been working on issues related to coastal zone management under conditions of expanding urbanization, climate change, and sea level rise. He is a Registered Professional Geologist and Administrator of the Space Coast Climate Change Initiative.
Abstract: Since the Industrial Revolution, global atmospheric temperatures have risen nearly 1 0C and the rate of sea level rise has accelerated to more than 3 mmyr-1. Current trends in greenhouse gas emissions are expected to cause temperatures to rise an additional 2 to 5 0C by the end of this century. Resulting meltwater and thermo-expansion will likely cause sea level to rise by +0.5 to +2 m. Peninsular Florida is especially vulnerable to sea level rise as a consequence of the porous geology and low topographic relief in the coastal zone. Adaptation actions to reduce vulnerability must begin now as significant changes to comprehensive planning, critical infrastructure, land use, etc., typically require decades to complete. These should include identification of risk, assessment of vulnerability, formulation and implementation of an adaptation plan, and periodic re-evaluation (aka adaptive management). The current challenge is to generate the political will and resources to accomplish these actions. Continued delays will only increase the cost and complexity of a successful adaptation action plan.
Heritage Monitoring Scouts (HMS Florida): Engaging the Public to Monitor Heritage at Risk
Sarah E. Miller, Northeast and East Central Director, FPAN/Flagler College
Sarah Miller received her Masters degree in Anthropology from East Carolina University in 2001 where she developed archaeology education programs at Tryon Palace in New Bern, North Carolina. Upon graduation from ECU, Ms. Miller supervised field and lab projects with public involvement for the Kentucky Archaeological Survey, as well as reviewed compliance projects for the Kentucky Heritage Council. She now serves as Director for FPAN's Northeast and East Central Regions, national Leadership Team member and statewide coordinator for Project Archaeology, and Board Member for the St. Augustine Archaeology Association and Society for Historical Archaeology. Her specialties include public archaeology, historical archaeology, municipal archaeology and historic cemeteries.
Abstract: Along Florida’s 8,000 miles of shoreline, nearly 4,000 archaeological sites and over 600 recorded historic cemeteries are at risk from coastal erosion and rising sea levels. The matter remains complex in Florida where despite the 20 percent higher rate of sea level rise compared to the global average, “climate change” remains politically taboo. This presentation will outline ongoing efforts to engage the public in monitoring coastal sites, the creation of the Heritage Monitoring Scout (HMS Florida) by the Florida Public Archaeology Network, and gather feedback for planning Tidally United in 2017 in south Florida.
Monitoring and Predicting the Movement and Degradation of Cultural Resources Through Active Public Participation
Austin Burkhard is an incoming graduate student at the University of West Florida. He began this public monitoring program 3 years ago as an internship with the Fish and Wildlife at the Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge.
Abstract: Scattered near the coastlines of the Maryland/Virginia border, hundreds of ships met their demise through harsh oceanic conditions. These conditions have made it difficult to document and monitor sites. The author, working for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, developed a program to track the degradation and movement of shipwreck timbers as a means to manage cultural resources through public participation. Each timber is documented and given a tag, which contains a quick response (QR) code and web address the public can access. This technological feature sends a digital form from which real time data acquisition is provided to archaeologists.
Battling the Rising Sea: Challenges and Solutions for Preserving Eroding Shell Mounds in Canaveral National Seashore
Dr. Margo Schwadron, Archaeologist, National Park Service
Dr. Margo Schwadron is an Archaeologist for the National Park Service (NPS) since 1991 who specializes in wetlands, islands, coastal archeology and shell middens in the southeastern United States, especially south Florida and the coastal St. Johns region. Her research takes a landscape-centered approach to archaeology, incorporating large-scale archaeological survey and testing, remote sensing/GIS, and integrating paleo-environmental and paleo-climate research into understanding historical ecology and the interaction of humans and environment through time. Much of her work is applied to National Park Service sites, documenting and protecting vulnerable sites from climate change impacts, and using paleo-environmental data to interpret past climate change.
Abstract: Canaveral National Seashore contains three of the largest, best preserved and tallest shell mounds in North America. Unfortunately, these significant sites are undergoing severe erosion from sea-level rise. This study highlights efforts by the NPS to recover archaeological, environmental and paleo-ecological data threatened with loss from erosion; document threatened sites with National Historic Landmark (NHL) level documentation; and efforts to stabilize and protect sites with ecosystem restoration, building of living shorelines and soft stabilization techniques. A key component to this success is youth and civic engagement, and public outreach for community support.
Climate Change, Currents, and Surges: Sea Level Rise and the Protection of Submerged Cultural Resource Sites
Owen Wright, Chief Cultural Resource Specialist, Ecology and Environment, Inc.
With over 25 years committed to the protection of cultural resources, Mr. Wright has gained a reputation as an accomplished program manager with experience leading key cultural resource investigations for both public and private clients within the renewable energy, oil and gas, and transportation development sectors. His areas of expertise include underwater archaeology, maritime and historic preservation law, historic archaeology, architectural history, historic landscape management, artifact conservation, planning, and public outreach. Wright has always been intrigued by the effects of climate change and has recently begun studying its potential impacts on submerged archaeological sites.
Abstract: We know that climate change contributes to sea level rise, and can alter the intensity and location/distribution of storms. What is much less predictable is when and where storms will be more or less intense. Certainly if there are more coastal storms, combined with sea level rise, the storm surge that accompanies the tempests would be more significant along our shorelines as well as upon inland riverine locations that have not traditionally experienced the effects of storm surge. As sea levels gradually rise, submerged sites, that have remained virtually unchanged in our lifetime, will be increasingly subjected to erosion and the destabilizing forces of hydraulic action, attrition, corrasion, and corrosion. This discussion will address these natural impacts, their effect on site context, and address strategies to preserve site integrity in the wake of these changes.
Coastal Resources Program, 1995-2016
Gary D. Ellis, Director, Gulf Archaeology Research Institute
Gary has enjoyed over 42 years of professional life in archaeology after earning an undergraduate degree in anthropology from Southern Illinois University (1975) and a graduate degree from the University of South Florida (1977). He had the honor of developing the Historic Preservation and Archaeology Division for the State of Indiana and serving as its first State Archaeologist (1977-1991). During this period he assisted the Department of Anthropology at Indiana University-Purdue University as a faculty member teaching and promoting program development and served concurrently as the archaeologist for the Indiana State Museum. His career research interests have focused on the integration of physical and natural sciences with anthropological archaeology to understand humankind's place within natural systems and his field experiences cover the gamut of terrestrial and underwater archaeology, including the recognition and recovery of archaeological context from highly damaged sites. Over the past 10 years he has contributed to the archaeological study of the Seminole Wars (1817-1854) and working with the National Park Service-American Battlefield Protection Program and the State of Florida investigated more than seven period forts and six major battlefields. Gary developed and grew the Gulf Archaeology Research Institute (1995) which is now in its 21st year of service. The diversity of his professional staff and service offerings have allowed growth in the profession and fostered historic preservation, archaeological and environmental research to assist Florida communities and agencies in need. Our goal of Connecting the Past To Our Future drives the institute and staff to provide the best services possible to facilitate cultural and natural resource research, protection and management.
Abstract: GARI was founded in 1995 as a professionally staffed non-profit research organization with social, physical, and natural science divisions. GAI conducts long-term research in a number of areas keyed to humans as parts of living systems through time. Coastal Resources are but one research foci and a part of that effort addresses the relationship between natural and cultural resources and the need to monitor both to provide best management practices along a challenged and changing coastline. This paper covers several contexts out of many and delivers no good news about resource impacts and inevitable changes. – Our resources are in trouble.
Understanding the Threat of Sea Level Rise on an Active Archaeological Site: Partnering with Pineland in Southwest Florida
Rachael Kangas M.A., RPA
Rachael Kangas earned her M.A. from the University of Central Florida (UCF) in 2015 and her Maya Studies Certificate from UCF in 2014. She is the Public Archaeology Coordinator for the Southwest Region of the Florida Public Archaeology Network, and conducts public archaeology and outreach in the region. She has participated in multiple field seasons in the Americas and had the opportunity to conduct lab work and teach during her time at UCF.
Abstract: FPAN documented over 30 artifacts eroding from a coastal midden near Pineland in Lee County, demonstrating the importance of monitoring this threatened archaeological site. Pineland has been actively excavated for decades, making it one of the most well-understood sites in Southwest Florida. Partnering with researchers from the Florida Museum of Natural History, as well as the staff and dedicated volunteers at this site, we hope to create a model for significant partnerships, and to demonstrate the necessity of monitoring effects of sea level rise on archaeological sites.

She orchestrated the College’s participation in the US-Spain Council events held in the Hotel Ponce de Leon, including the international dignitaries’ luncheon for the King and Queen of Spain held in September 2015.
Abstract: Florida is one of the nation's most unique and vulnerable states with regard to sea level rise. Important and rare cultural and natural resources are set in a peninsula that historically featured more than 4,000 miles of coastline, including interior waterways. Over the past century the warm subtropical climate has drawn an extremely diverse population quickly approaching 20 million, making it the nation's fastest growing state behind Texas and third largest by population after California and Texas. What may the future hold for the sunshine state, particularly in light of Presidential candidates differing greatly on the topic of climate change?

Abstract: St. Augustine has endured centuries of time through battles, storms, and redevelopment. A known threat is approaching in the face of sea level rise that is affecting many communities in Florida and along the US coastline. In the historic community of St. Augustine, our cultural resources are recognized as an important contributor of the economy and quality of life. Many National Register and National Historic Landmark designated properties are located in the city and thus recognized by scholars for their significance. Government officials with the City of St. Augustine are working to understand the threats posed by sea level rise and the need for adaptation strategies. This presentation will focus on the portion of those efforts which are specifically related to sustaining these non-renewable resources for the future and identifying how these resources demonstrate past climate adaptation and mitigation.

Abstract: Engaging the public in the challenging issue of building a more resilient community in the face of short- and long-term climate impacts requires a team effort. Weather It Together, a program launched by the Annapolis Historic Preservation Division, is a public/private partnership built on the FEMA model of hazard mitigation planning. This comprehensive planning effort embraces community-based planning to inform citizens, educate decision-makers and engage partners in addressing the impacts of tidal flooding, subsidence and sea level rise on historic and cultural resources in Annapolis, the Chesapeake Bay and the nation.
Dr. Judith A. Bense, President, University of West Florida and Chair of FPAN Board of Directors
Dr. Judy Bense received her Bachelors and Masters degrees in Anthropology/Archaeology from Florida State University and her PhD from Washington State University. She founded the Anthropology/Archaeology program at the University of West Florida in 1980 in an agreement tied to a large contract with the US Army Corps of Engineers. The archaeology program has developed into an important one, focused on historical and public archaeology in Florida, especially in the colonial period. The inclusion of shipwreck archaeology almost two decades ago added an important dimension to the continuing growth and development of the program. Bense has served as President of UWF since 2008 and will step down in January 2017 and return to archaeology.
Abstract: Archaeology and history are popular with people from all walks of life in the U.S. as evidenced in all forms of media and heritage tourism.

Bob became actively interested in the field of archaeology at the age of nine. At the age of 14 he apprenticed with amateur archaeologist Albert T. Anderson of South Indian Field. With Dr. Charles Fairbanks as mentor, he received an undergraduate degree in anthropology from UF in 1973. Jobs in the field unavailable locally upon graduation, Bob worked in the defense contracting industry as a manager in administration eventually founding his own management consulting company, retiring in 1992. He has assisted numerous visiting archaeologists in the field including: Ripley Bullen, John Clauser, Calvin Jones, Carl J. Clausen, Glen Doran, Jim Dunbar, Margo Schwandron, among many others. Since the early 1980’s he has held life memberships in SEAC and FAS. Bob has served as president and other offices in the South Brevard Historical Society, The Indian River Anthropological Society, The St. Johns Anthropological Society, and is a former Chairman of the Brevard County Historical Commission. He currently is a director in the Florida Anthropological Society, secretary of the Indian River Anthropological Society and volunteers with the Brevard County Historical Commission and the Florida Historical Society.
Abstract: The Indian River Anthropological Society has embarked on an ambitious program to conduct a census of all Florida Master Site File (FMSF) sites registered within Brevard County where access is available. Review of site files indicate numerous errors; some sites erroneously reported destroyed, while others are incorrectly located. Condition of sites are assessed and photographed; disturbances, natural and/or manmade noted; potential threats identified; and where appropriate, corrective actions recommended.
