Southampton Town is a coastal community of almost 300 square miles, half of which is water.
Due to storm events and a rising sea, it is vulnerable to the loss of its coastlines, its sole source aquifer and its electrical infrastructure.
The Town is confronting these challenges with a series of initiatives to fight the effects of the climate crisis and to reduce its effect on the environment.
John Bouvier is a Southampton Town Councilman and the liaison between the Town Board and its Energy and Sustainability Committee.
We sat down recently with John Bouvier at Southampton Town Hall to discuss these issues.
