The N.C. Coastal Resources Commission’s Science Panel on Coastal Hazards will meet Dec. 9 in New Bern.
The panel, which provides scientific advice to the state Coastal Resources Commission, will meet from 10 a.m. – 3 p.m. in the conference room of the New Bern-Craven County Public Library, 400 Johnson Street, New Bern. The meeting is open to the public.
The group’s agenda includes:
• A discussion of the permitting process for terminal groins, and the issues associated with monitoring these structures for any adverse impacts.
• An update from a science panel subcommittee charged with responding to public comments received regarding the panel’s 2010 report on sea level rise in North Carolina.
