Join us for 4 consecutive Tuesday evenings where we will explore with scientists, engineers, policy and decision-makers, and designers the challenges that sea level rise is bringing and ways of responding to those challenges.

We’d love to have teachers participate in this 4 week course at the Aquarium. It’s a wonderful opportunity to explore the many challenges and potential responses to sea level rise. Professional development credits are available. Please join us if you are available! See below for the schedule of speakers and topics.
