FEATURED LOWCOUNTRY RESOURCE:
There are a number of tools available to help visualize sea level rise predictions and make sea level rise projections. Information is important to educate, plan, and make policy decisions. Sea level rise data can be boring and hard to understand.
Check out Grow Purpose’s RESOURCE HUB: SEA LEVEL RISE MAPS for tools that can help urban planners, community leaders, businesses, educators, and anyone else clearly understand the consequences of climate change, how it will directly affect them and their communities and what they need to do to build resilience.
