Panacea, FL Coastal Erosion Rate
Shoreline change 7.3 miles south of Panacea, FL
The coast 7.3 miles south of Panacea, FL shows no statistically significant trend either way. USGS's transects measured a rate here, but it's smaller than the survey's own margin of error for this stretch, so calling it "eroding" or "growing" would overstate what the data actually shows.
What "Panacea" means on this page
Nothing here is parcel-level. USGS's raw transects run every few hundred feet along the shore; this page averages the ones nearest Panacea, FL into one ~3.5-mile reading rather than picking a single arbitrary line to represent the area. Centered near 29.92°N, 84.38°W. Survey years: 2001, method LRR, from USGS's Gulf of Mexico shoreline-change assessment. That's how current the data is here, real, but not a live feed, since a shoreline survey is a major undertaking, not an annual check-in.
Where this fits nationally
This reading comes from 52 individual transects averaged together, 40% of which measured erosion rather than growth. The published margin on this reading runs ±0.4 ft/yr. Taken at face value, this segment's raw 0.04 ft/yr reading would land it 806 of 1211 nationally - a number worth ignoring, since it's statistical noise rather than a real trend. Source: USGS Open-File Report 2004-1089. Bayport, NY sits at national rank 1083 for growth (0.83 ft/yr), one reference point among the 1211 scored segments, 979 miles from here. 1.1 miles up the coast, Panacea, FL shows the same lack of a significant trend.
