"Rising Tides: realizing growth in a changing climate" will feature Gulf of Maine Research Institute’s Glenn Prickett, president and CEO, and David Reidmiller, the nonprofit's chief impact officer, leading a conversation on how marine businesses can manage the growing challenges.

With sea-level rise and coastal flooding already affecting Maine, Prickett and Reidmiller will share how new climate science and GMRI tools are helping communities make smarter decisions, as well as ways businesses can prepare, invest and lead in building a resilient coastal economy.
