Climate Change & the Coast – a talk with Charles Lester
Dec 6, 6-9pm, HMB Yacht Club, 214 Princeton Ave, Princeton
RSVP here - space limited [Event is now full.]
With sea level rise and a growing population, California’s coast faces many challenges over the coming decades. Join Committee for Green Foothills to discover some hope, and welcome Dr. Charles Lester as he talks about sea level rise, coastal erosion, and challenges for Half Moon Bay and the Midcoast. Formerly California Coastal Commission executive director, Dr. Lester has been working in the field of ocean and coastal management for more than 25 years. He is currently at the Institute of Marine Sciences at UC Santa Cruz, researching and writing about sea level rise, coastal resilience, and other aspects of California coastal law and policy.
Dr. Lester is also consulting for the City of HMB on their LCP update. View his presentation (video @3min) on Land Use Policy & Growth Management to HMB Planning Commission on 10/24/17. (news article)
King Tides & Coffee -- December 4, 2017, 9:00-10:30AM
Meet at Miramar Beach Restaurant Parking Lot
Sea Change San Mateo County team is leading this event to inform the public about how king tides can help visualize future flooding risks and to share information about projects in the works to reduce impacts from flooding and sea level rise. Event includes shoreline guided walk, coffee/bagels -- bring your personal mug and camera. RSVP.
King tides are higher than normal high tides that occur naturally when the sun and moon align, causing an increased gravitational pull on the oceans. Since king tides are about a foot higher than average high tides, these events show what sea levels could look like every day with one foot of sea level rise.
