By 2050, a shoreline area of #Newark will be inundated most of the time, as our lead attorney Eric Buescher points out in this KQED article—so why is the city considering developing the land instead of restoring #wetlands that could provide a buffer against #sealevelrise?? 🤨
"We need to harness the power of nature in whatever way we can," as Jana Sokale of the Citizens Committee to Complete the Refuge put it.
