Addressing the Growing Threat of Rising Sea Levels

Climate change is at the top of the global agenda, but one of its biggest threats doesn’t get enough attention: rising sea levels. And this isn’t a problem for the future—it’s happening now, putting economies, infrastructure, and national security at risk.

The SeaNet Vision reframes the issue. It moves beyond retreat and short-term fixes, introducing a bold, long-term approach to adaptation that turns risk into resilience. Not doom. Not delay, but a new way forward.

  • A Wake-Up Call on Rising Seas

    "Russ Walsh has written a necessary and unflinching call to arms. The scientific community is clear: sea level rise is accelerating faster than at any point in human history, and the decades ahead will be defined by how we prepare for it. Walsh captures this reality with honesty and urgency. He reminds us that sea level rise is not a distant abstraction—it is a present, compounding force that will reshape coastlines, displace millions, and disrupt the economies and ecosystems we rely on.

  • Turning Risk Into Resilience

    “This book offers a comprehensive analysis of sea level rise, detailing the physical drivers, predictive modeling, and associated coastal risks. Notably, it explores innovative mitigation strategies, including large-scale water retention systems such as artificial inland lakes, as part of adaptive infrastructure planning. Its integration of engineering concepts with climate science makes it a valuable resource for resilience-focused research and policy development.”

  • Visionary Solutions Meet Science

    “SeaNet Vision breaks through conventional thinking on coastal resilience by aligning bold strategy with scientific rigor. Much like Lt. Robert B. Marshall’s visionary 1919 proposal to move water from Northern California to Southern California—a concept that shaped the state’s future—this book offers a vital contribution to how we prepare for and adapt to rising seas.”
