 It is projected that due to climate warming the tide levels and water temperatures in Pleasant Bay will increase by the end of the century. The Pleasant Bay Alliance is currently working to identify ways in which the Bay's climate resilience can be increased. As such, the Alliance is providing two opportunities for citizens to learn about these potential impacts to the Bay and to provide comments on potential strategies moving forward.
The community forum noted above will present research on "estimated climate effects on the barrier beach and inner shoreline, coastal flooding, and impacts to public access and infrastructure." Representatives from various Alliance partners will make presentations, including the Center for Coastal Studies, Woods Hole Sea Grant, Boston University, and Cape Cod National Seashore. This is a free event and open to the public. Registration is required and can be accessed here. The second opportunity is an online community survey, available here on the Pleasant Bay Alliance website. Your opinions about potential climate related effects and resilience strategies are important. Survey results will be shared at the October 21 forum. Comments are closed.
