Resilient Woods Hole, a public-private climate initiative run by three of the scientific institutions in Woods Hole, has released new interactive maps aimed at educating the community on projected climate impacts in the village and collecting feedback on adaptation strategies.

The interactive maps give community members an in-depth look at the key features of Woods Hole and their susceptibility to climate impacts like sea-level rise and storm surge, and prompt users to leave comments with their own input, experience and ideas for adaptation.

“I think the big takeaway is that this project is so collaborative,” said Suzanne Pelisson, associate director of public relations for WHOI.
