Survey invites opinions on rising sea levels
RALEIGH -- North Carolina citizens have a chance to comment on their perceptions of the risk from sea-level rises and what to do about it.
The state Division of Coastal Management said that an online poll will help identify perceptions held by the public as it develops a policy on the issue.
Tancred Miller is the primary author of the survey.
Responses to the survey will be collected on the Coastal Management Web site until Aug. 31, and the results will be presented at a Coastal Resources Commission meeting and published online.
