Rising Waters, Rising Challenges

Wednesday, February 15, 2012

Global sea level is rising and with it the challenge to effectively address the diverse impacts it will have on the coast.  Sea Level rise is expected to affect coastal communities, beaches, low-lying areas, wetlands, estuaries, and aquifers, as well as, coastal development and infrastructure.  How prepared are our communities to address this threat?  Come and learn how the coastline might change as a result of sea level rise and how communities can adapt.

Who Should Attend?
Coastal managers, planners, local officials, municipal staff, municipal boards, state agency staff and environmental organizations.

Kind regards,
