January Porch Party: 1/16Beach Life: Exploring the History (and Future) of Gulfport’s Beach
Friday, January 16 at 7:00pm at the Gulfport History MuseumWhen you think of Gulfport, it’s hard not to think of the beach. The town’s identity has long been intertwined with this treasured space for nature, recreation, social life, and subsistence. As we contemplate a future of rising sea levels and more intense storms, questions abound about how this space will change, and how our community will adapt. This very special porch party event, co-hosted by Eckerd College’s Gulf Scholar program, will give attendees a chance to participate in an interactive exhibit exploring the history of Gulfport’s beach and its place in the life of Gulfportians, as well as learn how coastal communities are adapting to some of the environmental challenges we now face. Attendees will also have a chance to participate in a survey gathering concerns and ideas about the future of Gulfport’s beach. Come enjoy some sand-sprinkled, sun-kissed treasures from the Gulfport History Museum’s archives and a fascinating glimpse into the lives of our beautiful beaches! Program is free and open to the public, and begins at 7pm. |
