The Invading Sea is working to secure a new home to build on efforts to inform Floridians about climate change. Our website will be on hiatus during this period and will post an update when we resume operations. Thank you for your readership and support! theinvadingsea.com/2026/06/2…

Florida continues to be the top state in the Southeast for solar power, according to a new report from @cleanenergyorg. While solar farms make up most of the state's solar capacity, the report also cited high growth in rooftop solar panels. theinvadingsea.com/2026/06/2…

Brian Henriquez writes about Florida's growing need for resilient infrastructure: "Florida has always demonstrated an extraordinary ability to adapt and recover ... But resilience is no longer something we can think about only during hurricane season." theinvadingsea.com/2026/06/2…

Plug-in solar is safer. Why don't regulations reflect that? Our new policy and safety analysis shows that small plug-in solar units are regulated more heavily than the portable diesel or gas generators that have caused documented lineworker deaths ➡️ ow.ly/wwA850Zfh7O

Sean Patton writes about the impact of the American flagfish on pond and wetland health in Florida: "The disappearance of the flagfish is more than a biodiversity loss. It has direct consequences for water quality and, ultimately, for red tide." theinvadingsea.com/2026/06/2…

The Fenholloway River is at a crossroads.
State regulators are paving the way for wastewater to flow back into what was once Florida's most polluted river - over the objections of Taylor County residents.

Our family went to St. Pete Beach on Father's Day and the Gulf water was definitely warm.
Marine heatwave developing around Florida, with a Coral Bleaching Warning issued for the Florida Keys!
If you’ve been to the beach lately you know we are past the refreshing stage, and have moved onto hot tub stage! Water temps in Florida Bay are as high as 97°F in the silty waters, and low 90s for the Keys, SW FL, and Tampa Bay Area. If you remember 2023 was FL’s worst FL marine heatwave on record - also a developing El Niño. If the 88°+ water heat stress lasts in the Keys for long, bleaching will begin. No telling if the ocean heat will repeat 2023, but we are always on guard during El Niño years. #Florida #heatwave #elnino

77°F dewpoints cover 2X the area they used to cover in the late 1900s. Simple science: Warmer air = greater moisture capacity. And thus more oppressive humid heat.

Dr. Esteban Rodofili of Campus Climate Corps writes that a lack of action at U.N. climate summits shows the need for efforts like a recent conference on transitioning from fossil fuels: "We need climate diplomacy at the pace of ceasefire diplomacy." theinvadingsea.com/2026/06/2…
