The Coastal Engagement Studio had another opportunity to meet residents and visitors of Levy County at the 31st Annual Yankeetown Seafood Festival on November 17-18. The festival hosted hundreds of tents offering food, crafts, and outreach. Our booth displayed project information, including local sea level rise projection maps, and we spoke with many people who showed a keen interest in coastal change. The booth also featured activities for children, including coastal-themed word search puzzles, writing letters to the sea, and ‘fishing’ for goldfish crackers. We greatly appreciate the Inglis-Yankeetown Lions Club for giving us the opportunity to participate in the festival. We would also like to thank everyone who stopped by and shared their thoughts with us. Citizen input is vital to this project, and it will help shape future project activities.
