“When Superstorm Sandy devastated the East Coast it was a wakeup call to a new reality. Shored Up takes us to the heart of this climate change controversy, following communities in NJ & NC where politics, economics and science collide. As the oceans rise and storms flood our towns and cities, do we ignore nature, or do we allow science to guide our policies for the future…before it’s too late.” http://shoredupmovie.com/
As an addition to the Summit, participants and the general public were invited to two film screening of this amazing documentary. All who attended had the opportunity to meet the director prior to the screening at a reception and then a chance to ask the director questions afterwards in a Q-and-A session.
If you missed the screening, please check out their website to learn more about this project.
These screenings took place in conjunction with the October 16th & 17th Sea Level Rise Summit: Resiliency in the Face of Change. Visit www.ces.fau.edu/SLR2013 to learn more about the Summit.
