Climate Change Roundtable and Filming of Climate Change Documentary

KEY LARGO – U.S. Rep. Carlos Curbelo hosted a climate change/sea level rise roundtable Wednesday at the Murray Nelson Government Center in Key Largo. Attendees included Monroe County Mayor Heather Carruthers, Commissioner Sylvia Murphy, County Administrator Roman Gastesi, Sustainability Director Rhonda Haag and Extension Services Director Alicia Betancourt.

After the meeting, Haag accompanied Curbelo to a neighborhood in Key Largo where a County pilot road project is being held to assess tidal flooding. Homeowner Stephanie Russo and Haag told Curbelo about the problem while it was filmed by a crew for a documentary about climate change. This documentary is part of a series called “Years of Living Dangerously” that will air on the National Geographic Channel in October.
