Sea Level Rise and Flooding in Masconomo Park, Reed Park & Singing Beach
Manchester-by-the-Sea's Planning for Reality Series Part 2 looks at sea level rise and flooding at Masconomo Park, Reed Park, and Singing Beach. In January, Masconomo Park and Reed Park flooded. And, over the last several years, erosion at Singing Beach has increased. This webinar will provide detailed information on how incremental sea level rise and storm surge are making flooding more frequent, and review how we should prepare to meet this new reality.
A panel including Harvard GSD Professor Charles Waldheim, HydroPredictions President Dr. Jayne Knott, and local experts will show maps and visuals of sea level rise projections. Future design for Reed Park to become a floodable park will be a discussion point. The panel will have a Q&A session.
