What makes Skagit especially vulnerable to the risks of sea level rise caused by climate change? And what can we do about it? Join us at MoNA for a community-based scientific activity hosted by Indivisible Skagit, Audubon Washington, and Skagit Climate Science Consortium (SC2). You will get to engage with local players to explore some of the physical, ecological, infrastructure, hydrological and other impacts of sea level rise. This workshop will focus on action, interaction & engagement.
