Florida’s coastal regions face numerous challenges. The past offers lessons for how Floridians can confront them. This program by Dr. Evan Bennett provides historical context for the threats Florida’s coasts face and some hope from the history of Tampa Bay.

Born and raised less than a mile from Tampa Bay, Bennett graduated with bachelor’s and master’s degrees in history from the University of South Florida before finishing a Ph.D. at the College of William & Mary.
