Join Blue Planet Foundation on Saturday, April 21, 2018, from 9:00 AM to 11:00 AM for the Blue Line Project—a locally powered movement to raise awareness about the impacts of climate change. The event is made possible by our "Be the Change" Platinum Sponsor
On April 21, 2018, thousands of students and community members will join Blue Planet Foundation in drawing “blue lines” in chalk to mark the sea level rise exposure area around Hawaii.
The sea level rise exposure area was identified by the Hawaii State Climate Commission as the area that is vulnerable to flooding due to high waves, coastal erosion, and rising water tables under a 3.2-feet sea level rise scenario.
Data provided by School of Ocean and Earth Science and Technology.
In some areas, communities are facing permanent displacement of their homes, businesses, and treasured places like parks, schools, and community centers. Recent studies suggest that Hawaii could see a one-meter rise in sea level as early as 40 years from today if we continue our unsustainable reliance on fossil fuels for our electricity and transportation needs.
Together, we can show the world that Hawaii is concerned about the future of the islands we call home and is committed to taking action on climate.
