History Treading Water: Sea Level Rise + Future of Coastal Heritage

Time: 6:00 pm til 7:00 pm

Location: Amelia Island Museum of History

Description: Join the Amelia Island Museum of History for their next 3rd on 3rd St.
Morris Hylton III, Program Director of the University of Florida’s College of Design, Construction, and Planning, will deliver a presentation entitled, History Treading Water: Sea Level Rise and the Future of Coastal Heritage. Global sea levels have risen about eight inches in the twentieth century. The rate of annual rise has doubled in the past few decades and estimates are that sea levels could rise one to six feet by the end of the century. Efforts are underway to strengthen the resilience of coastal communities and prepare them for the adverse impacts of short- and long-term flooding. Not as much attention, however, has been given to protecting heritage resources or preparing for their loss. This presentation examines the threat of sea level rise to historic cities and cultural resources and explores strategies for adaptation or mitigation.
This program is free for museum members with a suggested donation of $5 for non members. Seating is first-come/first-served. For more information contact Gray at 261-7378 ext 102, or gray@ameliamuseum.org. Amelia Island Museum of History 233 S. 3rd St.
