As storms batter our coast causing more damage, we begin to see what the future may hold if we do not act. Barbara Warren, SSCW’s Executive Director, will provide updates on how the Commonwealth and the Salem Sound municipalities are grappling with these problems, including the new initiative, ResilientCoasts. She will also share the progress of several local resilience building projects and some of the challenges they will need to overcome.
