Protecting our Homes, Roads, and Habitat – Sea Level Rise Workshop on San Juan Island

San Juan County is taking steps to better understand and plan for the future of sea level rise in the islands, including limiting the impact to public and private infrastructure. The County is planning a series of community workshops to share information about sea level rise and solicit thoughts, concerns, and feedback from community members about how to address these challenges together.

Each of the four ferry-served islands will host two community workshops, facilitated by an external consultant specializing in community response to sea level rise.

The first workshop will focus on the big picture, reviewing the science of sea level rise globally and locally. This science will include reviews of key studies done in San Juan County and how the County can expect to be affected in the next 20-50 years.

San Juan Island: Monday, September 29 from 5:30pm-7:30pm
Marie Boe Building at the San Juan County Fairgrounds 849 Argyle Ave, Friday Harbor
