The science and statistics are staggering. Over the next few decades sea level rise will devastate and change every coastal community on the planet as well as many adjacent inland areas and will have a profound impact on social, biological, political and economic aspects all over the world. Nowhere will the impact be more devastating, or more critical, than in South Florida.
The Sink or Swim Project is designed to educate, inform and engage the generations, both young people alive today and those who are about to be born, who will inherit sea level rise and who must work together to solve it.
We use a range of tools to accomplish our mission including live PowerPoint presentations, a state of the art website (www.miamisearise.com), topical blog postings by founder Delaney Reynolds and the distribution of a comic/adventure book (Where Did All The Polar Bears Go?), toys that act as metaphors to illustrate the problem, political buttons and tee shirts.
