September 6th, 2023 4 - 6:30 PM at Great Harbor Yacht Club, 96 Washington
St., Nantucket MA

Nantucket is an island roughly 30 miles south of Cape Cod that is only
accessible by ferry or air. Our Town has officially designated September as
Climate Change Awareness Month, an important acknowledgment of the
significant and increasing threat that climate change and rising sea levels
pose to Nantucket's infrastructure and ecosystems. In the last few years,
various organizations have hosted events, tours, lectures, and more during
September to share information on how climate change will affect Nantucket.
This year, a Summit will be held to share the collective knowledge and
understanding of climate change on island.

Our community is fortunate to have several scientists, land managers, and
organizations with unique expertise and knowledge specific to coastal
ecosystems, positioning Nantucket as a leader in climate resiliency and
adaptation. *This Summit is an opportunity for our community to gain a
common language around climate change status and impacts on Nantucket*.
Participants will also learn about climate adaptation projects underway on
island.

Presentations include:
-"What Does Climate Change Mean for Nantucket in 2023", Drs. Sarah Bois and
Jennifer Karberg
-“Restoring Lily Pond Park", Nantucket Islands Land Bank
