The June, 2016 meeting of BARS will be held on Tuesday, June 7th, 7:00 PM at the West Barnstable Community Building, located on Route 149 near 6A, West Barnstable across from the library.
Our featured speaker for the meeting will be Tonna-Marie Rogers, Coastal Training Program Coordinator, Waquoit Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve.
This presentation will examine how climate on Cape Cod and the broader New England region is changing and what this means for the natural and built environment and the way we plan for the future. We will take a look at what local research is telling us about our vulnerabilities, how we can adapt to stay resilient, and why it is important to engage the whole community in planning for the risks and opportunities that a changing climate brings.
