What? Sharks in my Backyard?--Local Impacts of Sea Level Rise

Sea level  rise for the Hayward shoreline is projected to be as much as 55 inches by the year 2100.  At this level, 80.000 East Bay residents are expected to be directly affected by floods and inundation.  The SF Bay Estuary-- our region's most defining geographic feature-- may be even closer to your backyard in the not-so-distant future.  How will the impacts of sea level rise affect us?  What will be our response?  Jennifer Koney, Recreation Supervisor of the Hayward Shoreline Interpretive Center will present information from the Adapting to Rising tides Project and facilitate a lively discussion as to how we respond as a community.
