Journalist Discusses Reporting on Local Governments’ Slow Response to Sea Level Rise

Public Press Executive Director Michael Stoll talks with journalist Kevin Stark about Stark’s reporting that showed how local governments were slow in responding to the predicted effects of sea level rise on the Bay Area waterfront.
