A crowd of about 100 Falmouth residents gathered in the main library on Monday, April 29, to revisit the results of a study the town commissioned in 2020 to see which public assets are most vulnerable to sea level rise and climate change.

The study was done by the environmental consulting firm Woods Hole Group, which presented its findings to the select board in summer 2020, beach committee chairwoman Barbara P. Schneider said. The study revealed that Surf Drive is in the most trouble.
