Humboldt Bay on the Threshold of Change

Humboldt Bay has the highest rate of sea level rise on the West Coast, caused by a combination of rising sea levels from climate change and local land subsidence. In the next 40 years this will lead to dramatic and sometimes catastrophic changes to our area. While the bay’s rise is certain, we can choose how we adapt to it. This free presentation will discuss the best available science as to the bay's rise and what we can do to adapt.
