Saving Our Shoreline

Since 2018, Barbara Warren, Salem Sound Coastwatch’s Executive Director, has been providing a yearly update on local climate adaptation efforts and the state of the climate. Keeping track of the many ongoing projects is not a simple task, but Warren and the Salem Sound Coastwatch staff are working with Salem Sound municipalities and residents to build climate awareness and coastal resilience. This presentation is an opportunity to see the breadth of projects taking place in the Salem Sound communities, from climate resilient seawalls, floodable parks, living shorelines and coastal bank stabilization. Come learn about projects that are designed to make our shorelines more resistant to increasing storms, precipitation and sea level rise. Registration is required. Attendance to join in person is limited to 50 attendants, or attend online via Zoom. Please register to join in person or via Zoom at tinyurl.com/Save-Our-Shore. Barbara Warren is the Executive Director for Salem Sound Coastwatch and the Lower North Regional Coordinator for the Massachusetts Bays National Estuary Partnership. Warren is a certified Massachusetts Municipal Vulnerability Preparedness Provider and has worked on climate awareness and coastal resilience projects since 2007 across the six Salem Sound communities. Warren has a Master of Arts in Education from Lesley University and a Master of Science in Environmental Science from Antioch New England. For the past thirteen years, Underwater in Salem Sound has been jointly sponsored by Salem Sound Coastwatch and Abbot Public Library. All the lectures are free and open to the public.
