Saltwater laps the shores of San Mateo County east and west. As the water rises with the effects of climate change, there are questions: How soon will it rise, by how much and what will higher sea levels mean for locations that have heretofore been dry ground?
Such questions are being addressed at “Shrinking Shores” mixers being held along the county’s shores in a relaxed social setting to raise awareness of the impact of sea level rise.
A mixer was held in June at Half Moon Bay and another is set for 6:30 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 31, at the Captain’s House at 1701 Coyote Point Drive in San Mateo.
The focus of the event, put on by the county’s Office of Sustainability and the Parks Foundation, is a set of temporary signs along the shore that show where the waterline is likely to be at points throughout the century.
