Bainbridge Island Sea Level Rise: Community Adaptation Support

Overview

Ever think about how sea level rise will affect Bainbridge Island and what we might do about it? EcoAdapt works all over the world on climate change adaptation, but we are headquartered on Bainbridge Island and we are very interested in working with our local community. With funds from the Bainbridge Community Foundation, we are conducting research and building support tools for the Bainbridge Island community to help foster conversation and awareness about sea level rise, its growing impacts on our community, and how we can respond and adapt as an Island community.

This project has four primary objectives, each of which can be explored further in the links below:

Conduct community surveys to the identify state of understanding and concerns about sea level rise on Bainbridge Island

Hold community conversations to follow up on survey work and have more in-depth discussions about concerns and ideas for solutions (we are planning and running these now! Please check out the conversations link to learn more and reach out to us if you're interested)

Create resources and connect community members to additional information about sea level rise, community vulnerabilities, and potential adaptation solutions

Create public-facing projects that help our community visualize what sea level rise means for Bainbridge Island and how we can individually and collectively address the coming challenges
