Host: Brianna Cunliffe
Description: Climate & Community covers Islesboro’s Sea Level Rise Committee’s work on planning for a large-scale adaptation project attempting to ensure that the Narrows, the one road connecting two ends of this unbridged island, continues to serve residents as sea levels rise and coastal flooding worsens. We speak with Island Institute Fellow Liv Lenfestey, who is serving as the committee’s Communications Manager, on the process so far.
