Important forum: Sea Level Rise on Cape Ann

Dear Friends:

I would like to invite you to an important forum on Wednesday evening.

As you are doubtless aware, rapid climate change and rising sea levels are already an issue for those of us living on the coast. Whether it’s “superstorms” like Hurricane Sandy or rising flood insurance rates, we are already feeling its effects.

The forum, entitled “Sea Level Rise on Cape Ann,” is important to all of us.

The keynote speakers are Dr. David Burdick and Dr. Paul Kirshen of the University of New Hampshire, both of whom are researchers into the effects of climate change. The forum is sponsored by Friends of Good Harbor, Maritime Gloucester and Salem Sound Coastwatch.

The event will be held at the Elks at Bass Rocks on Atlantic Road on Wednesday, Sept. 17, at 7 p.m. It is free and open to the public.

I will be attending and I encourage all of you to join me there.

Very truly yours,
