There’s lots of rhetoric and politics surround the issue of climate change. But here we are on the North Fork, surrounded by the bay and the sound, blessed with beautiful vistas, and the ability to enjoy the waterfront. We can see the water levels changing, especially during storms. We can see that there are more storms. And we can see erosion of our natural shoreline. It’s important to do something now to counter this trend – solutions will take time and the sooner we start the greater the impact. The economic implications touch each and every one of us.
What we need now is a pragmatic approach to protecting our coastline from the rising sea levels and changing climate. We have to look to our best scientific minds for solutions; and together with our town trustees put forward practical action steps that adapt to our environment and mitigate further loss.

On March 30, 2019, SoutholdVOICE will host an Information
Session with Cornell Cooperative Extension to start a conversation about pragmatic
approaches to how we can protect our shorelines from further erosion. It’s important – hope you’ll mark your calendar
and add your voice and support to this vital initiative!
