Shoreline Adaptation Land Trusts “SALT” – new concept for adaptation
At a conference today in St. Petersburg Florida I have put forth a new concept: Shoreline Adaptation Land Trusts. “SALT”
The 3-page paper was published by the Institute of Science for Global Policy and can be downloaded below, or from their web site www.scienceforglobalpolicy.org
I developed the concept in response to their challenge to come up with something specific that could be based on science and help the adaptation of policy to deal with rising sea level. This two day forum is: “Sea Level Rise: What’s Our Next Move?”
Similar to the concept of conservation land trusts which have been well established, a SALT could create a vehicle to facilitate the migration of vulnerable private lands. If you are interested, please download the short paper with the description.
Comments are welcome. If you think such an idea has merit, please share.
