At the twenty-fifth anniversary of Mega Civil Friday, celebrated on April 5, 2024, more than 70 engineers and surveyors were presented with a focus on the implications of encouraging a cultural shift in Puerto Rico and the Caribbean aimed at building resilience, adapting, and thriving despite the challenge of sea level rise. Relevant aspects and considerations for decision-making were explored, including technological tools developed to conduct research and inform our decisions in response to the changes brought about by global warming, specifically sea level rise.
