Sharks in My Backyard? A Community Discussion about Sea Level Rise

The Hayward Shoreline Interpretive Center (HSIC) is pleased to present community discussions about the local impacts of sea level rise: What?! Sharks in My Backyard? will be held at the San Lorenzo Community Center, March 22, 2014 at 2pm.

Sea level rise for the Hayward shoreline is projected to be as much as 55” by the year 2100. At this level 80,000 East Bay residents are expected to be directly affected by floods and inundation. The SF Bay Estuary – our region’s most defining geographic feature – may be even closer to your backyard in the not-so-distant future. How will the impacts of sea level rise affect us? What will be our response? Join naturalists from the Hayward Shoreline Interpretive Center in this lively and interactive community discussion series where representatives from the Adapting to Rising Tides Project and other partnering organizations, including 350BayArea.org, present the most current information regarding local impacts of sea level rise then discuss in small groups how we respond as a community.
