“Today’s storm, the second major flooding event in as many months, leaves no doubt that we’ve entered a new era on our waterfront. With climate change and extreme weather, we can expect to get hit harder, more often by storm surge with significant consequences for public access as well as our port economy. The future of our Harbor depends on all of us – government, business, and residents – working together to create resilient communities. The good news is that we know many of the solutions, and we’re moving in the right direction. The question will be whether we can create the urgency needed to move fast enough.” – Kathy Abbott, president and CEO, Boston Harbor Now (@kabbottbhn)
