Sea of People: Rally and March to Note Potential Future Manhattan Coastline

10:12 PM EDT on March 24, 2007

Volunteers will form a "Sea of People," as part of a rally and march that will demarcate the projected eastern and western 10-foot waterlines that may one day redefine lower Manhattan under the ten-foot sea level rise scenario. This is part of the national Step It Up 2007 campaign to raise awareness of climate change.
