N.C. coastal agencies conducting sea level poll

RALEIGH, N.C. 

North Carolina citizens have a chance to comment on their perceptions of the risk from a rise in sea level and what to do about it.

The state Division of Coastal Management said the online poll will help identify perceptions held by the public as it develops a policy on the issue.

Tancred Miller is the primary author of the survey and says the state is seeking everyone's perception regardless of their knowledge about the topic or whether they believe it.

Responses to the survey will be collected on the Coastal Management Web site until Aug. 31 and the results will be presented at a Coastal Resources Commission meeting and published online.
