BLT’s Rising Waters Fish Flag project can be viewed at CARE for the Cape and Islands’ Take Care Summit.

In September 2024, Barnstable Land Trust celebrated “Environmental Awareness Month” with a month-long series of Climate Conversations featuring 15+ events and 19 community collaborators.  The Rising Waters Fish Flags that will be displayed were created by people of all ages and backgrounds, and reflect the rising waters projected for Aselton Park on Hyannis Harbor.  The flags illustrate that the mean high high tide (storm surge + sea level rise) on Hyannis Harbor will rise above ground level by 18” in 2030, 30” in 2050, and 36” in 2070 based on data collected from Climate Central using NOAA research.
