Other factors will continue to play roles, such as wetland management and human development. Creekside festival will be a great chance for us to reach out to the public and inform them about sea level rise. It is my hope that we can create a great presentation full of content and make it easy for the public to understand. Research for this paper began by reading literature explaining sea level rise. A paper published…
