17. “Climate change threats to our coasts” OR “Coastal hazards: erosion, storms, development and rising seas” How is your talk being promoted?

18. Sequencing – When to bring up climate? Climate change is a hazard on our coasts We’ve tracked 10 inches of sea-level rise historically We have a best estimate of 1.3 feet of sea- level rise by 2050 This is happening alongside coastal threats from erosion, development, storms

19. We’re already dealing with coastal threats from erosion, development, storms We’ve tracked 10 inches of sea-level rise historically We best estimate of 1.3 feet of sea-level rise by 2050 So climate change is an additional hazard on our coasts that we can prepare for Sequencing – When to bring up climate?
