It was a 70 degree December day and AWARDS we were able to enjoy delicious Lynnhaven oysters and beautiful views of the river from the deck of the Brock Center while we celebrated our amazing volunteers. What could be better! During 2015, Lynnhaven River NOW completed 156 programs, involving 21,500 participants and logged 3,348 volunteer hours. And these numbers may all be lower than they should be because at times we are too busy to remember to add things to the log. But these accomplishments are only possible because of the amazing people who volunteer their time and talents throughout the year to clean up thousands of pounds of marine debris, to replant wetlands and Million Dollar shorelines, to help us build oyster castle projects, to educate the public Volunteer of the Year at our events and other festivals and meetings in the community, to Sid Vaughn serve on our committees and board, to assist with program preparation Oyster Restoration and administrative work, and a thousand other ways that our volunteers October, 2015 “high water” on the Eastern Branch.

    Which installations might make the top 10 most vulnerable to climate-related events required by the FY18 NDAA? Answer: We are seeing extreme weather events, droughts and sea level rise. Superstorm Sandy caused $50 million in damage at Naval Weapons Station Earle. More recently, Hurricane Irma severely impacted Naval Air Station Key West in 2017 and Hurricane Florence caused $3.6 billion in damage at Camp Lejeune in 2018. Wildfires in 2018 forced the evacuation of Naval Air Station Point Mugu, and burned approximately 1,200 acres at Camp Pendleton. Droughts can have broad implications for base infrastructure, impair testing activities, increase the number of black flag day prohibitions for testing and training, and contribute to heat-related illnesses. Naval Station Norfolk is experiencing sea level rise averaging 4.6mm per year, with a 5.1mm increase in 2017. Sea level rise, land subsidence, and changing ocean currents have resulted in more frequent nuisance flooding and increased vulnerability to coastal storms. The ten most vulnerable Marine Corps installations (in no particular order) are: Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, CA Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, NC Marine Corps Base Camp Butler, Okinawa, Japan Marine Corps Base Hawaii, HI Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island, SC Marine Corps Support Facility Blount Island, FL Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort, SC Marine Corps Base Quantico, VA Marine Corps Reserve Forces, New Orleans, LA Marine Corps Recruit Depot San Diego, CA The sixteen* most vulnerable Navy installations
