Figure 1. Map of the CVI for the U.S. Gulf Coast as determined by Thieler and Hammar-Klose (2000b). The CVI shows the relative vulnerability of the coast to changes due to future rise in sea level.

Figure 1 is a map of the CVI for the U.S. Gulf Coast as determined by Thieler and Hammar-Klose (2000b). The CVI shows the relative vulnerability of the coast to changes due to future rise in sea level. Coastal Texas, Louisiana, and Mississippi are ranked as primiarily high to very high vulnerability, whereas Alabama and Florida are primarily moderate to low vulnerability.
