Battle Against Sea Level Rise on the Eastern Shore

Hurricaen Sandy, nasa.gov

Hurricane Sandy may have been just a reminder of the impact of sea level rise as its storm surge crashed into the Atlantic Coast. On Maryland's Eastern Shore local government officials have begun to scramble to shore up the impact of the rising flood of water expected within the next one hundred years.  Delmarva Public Radio's Don Rush prepared this report.

Don Rush is the News Director and Senior Producer of News and Public Affairs at Delmarva Public Media. An award-winning journalist, Don reports major local issues of the day, from sea level rise, to urban development, to the changing demographics of Delmarva.
