Virtual town hall on climate resiliency and Rhode Island’s southern shoreline Monday | Westerly | thewesterlysun.com

State Sen. Victoria Gu (38th District, Westerly, Charlestown, South Kingstown) is hosting a virtual town hall and Q&A titled “Let’s Talk About Climate Resiliency and Our Coastline” on Monday, Feb. 12, from 6-7 p.m.

Gu will be joined by Pam Rubinoff and J.P. Walsh from the University of Rhode Island Coastal Resources Center, Bryan Oakley of Eastern Connecticut State University, Sue Anderbois of The Nature Conservancy and Topher Hamblett of Save the Bay.

“A lot of people are asking questions like ‘How bad are these storms?’ and ‘These dunes were washed out. What’s the beach going to look like this summer, or after the next big storm?’” Gu said in an email, which prompted the virtual town hall.

The town hall will begin with a science-based presentation on the shoreline, and the Q&A will follow.
