The physical and ecological implications of climate change to our local region will be the subject of a talk by coastal scientist Kevin McAllister Jan. 27 at the Jamesport Meeting House.
“Living on the Edge” is the first in a 2017 speaker series sponsored by the North Fork Environmental Council.
McAllister, founder and president of the advocacy group DefendH2O, will talk about the projected changes in sea level, how it impacts our communities, and the appropriate responses to ensure that our local beaches, wetlands and other natural resources remain sustainable.
McAllister holds undergraduate degrees in natural resources conservation and marine biology, as well as a master’s degree in coastal zone management. His professional experience spans 30 years, working in government, consultancy and the non-profit sectors of environmental protection.
The talk is scheduled to begin at 6:30 p.m. on Friday, Jan. 27. Jamesport Meeting House is located at 1590 Main Road, (corner Manor Lane) Jamesport.
