The N.C. Coastal Resources Commission’s Science Panel on Coastal Hazards will meet Oct. 29 in New Bern.
The panel, which provides scientific advice to the state’s 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 St., New Bern. The meeting is open to the public.
The group’s agenda includes an overview and discussion of Session Law 2012-202 (House Bill 819), which directs the Coastal Resources Commission to further study sea-level rise in North Carolina, and deliver an update of the science panel’s 2010 Sea-Level Rise Assessment Report to the N.C. General Assembly by March 31, 2015.
The legislation also directs the Coastal Resources Commission to study the feasibility of eliminating the Inlet Hazard Area of Environmental Concern.
Created by the Coastal Resources Commission in 1997, the 13-member science panel is composed of coastal engineers and geologists.
