Editing Florida (section)

==== Notable Landmarks ====
* The Okaloosa Reef – What was once Okaloosa Island, a long and narrow barrier island, has largely been swallowed beneath the Gulf. It was officially abandoned in the 2070s when sea rise made it untenable, and all buildings above two stories razed. By 2120, the water had risen enough that the area was largely covered, albeit by very shallow water in places. SBC seized the opportunity to invest in the idea of an artificial reef that could be enjoyed by snorkel rather than scuba, and seeded the ruins with life. By 2140, it had blossomed into something of a genuine success, albeit with frequent touch-ups required to keep it flourishing.  
* The Great Wall of Florida – A tongue-in-cheek name for a massive retractable seawall erected just outside of the Reef in the 2120s by the SBC, at the cost of unimaginable billions of dollars. If and when hurricanes threaten, the Great Wall is erected to hold back the storm surge so that the citizens of Niceville need never worry about the safety of their precious homes. Outside of hurricane season (which now runs May–November), the Wall reaches to just below usual sea level – allowing the SBC to keep out undesirables and regulate their patch of ocean.
