Sea Level Rise with Jennifer Koney

Introduction

Welcome to La Historia Society's informative event on sea level rise. In this session, we are honored to have Jennifer Koney, a renowned expert in coastal environmental studies, sharing her insights on the challenges posed by rising sea levels.

Understanding Sea Level Rise

Sea level rise refers to the gradual increase in the average level of the world's oceans. It is primarily caused by the melting of polar ice caps and thermal expansion due to global warming. This phenomenon has far-reaching consequences for coastal communities, ecosystems, and infrastructure.

The Impact on Coastal Communities

Coastal communities are particularly vulnerable to the effects of sea level rise. As ocean waters encroach upon the land, residents face increased risks of flooding, erosion, and loss of property. Infrastructure such as roads, buildings, and utilities are also at risk, jeopardizing the well-being of these communities.

Challenges and Solutions

The challenges posed by sea level rise require proactive measures and comprehensive strategies to mitigate its effects. This includes implementing coastal protection measures such as sea walls, restoring natural buffers like mangrove forests, and promoting sustainable land-use practices.
