Maps like the hurricane evacuation zones should be made readily available. Laws should be made requiring disclosure of the effect of anticipated sea-level rise in connection with real estate transactions. Our schools should start addressing sea-level rise and the potential effect it could have on our coastal lifestyle. The overall consensus was that proactive planning would be preferable to inefficient post disaster relief.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Foreman Biodiversity Fellow Erin Okuno moderated and students Hayley Brew, Rachael Curran, Lauren Eliopoulos and Lydia Greiner acted as scribes during the second day of the conference. Okuno and Stetson&#8217;s Institute for Biodiversity Law and Policy\u00a0director Royal Gardner were part of the conference working group.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I think the greatest takeaway was that, although we don\u2019t want to cause panic or unreasonable concern about sea-level rise, the various levels of government, business, non-governmental entities, and citizens generally need to immediately start educating the public about sea-level rise, and creating preliminary plans for preparing to meet the inevitable sea-level rise in our near future,&#8221; said Professor Long.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Stetson students, faculty, staff and graduates participated in the conference &#8220;Sea Level Rise: What\u2019s Our Next Move?&#8221; on Oct. 2-3 at St. Petersburg College.
