On Earth Day, the CBC Information Morning show in New Brunswick and Nova Scotia joined forces for At the Crossroads, a special program dedicated to sea level rise and the impact on the Chignecto Isthmus, the key piece of land connecting the two provinces. The show explored the area's history and ways to protect this threatened land from the effects of climate change, including impacts to towns, farmlands and the major transportation corridor along the Nova Scotia-New Brunswick border.

TransCoastal's Dr. Danika Van Proosdij and Makadunyiswe Ngulube were featured in Hour 2 of the show, and discussed managed dyke realignment as an effective solution to mitigate flood risks from climate change.
