Brian YurasitsHOST
If you could describe for us your role with Strawberry Bank, what is the most recent project that you're working on with the team over there? If you could describe that project and what are your goals for it?

Brian MurphyGUEST
The current project is a stormwater management project, and it emerges from a particular experience that the museum is having.

Brian MurphyGUEST
They sit at perhaps the lowest point in Portsmouth, only about eight or ten feet above sea level.

Brian MurphyGUEST
Because of the nature of that infill area where the inlet used to be at Puddle Dock, the water table really infiltrates that.

Brian MurphyGUEST
And as we know, when sea level rises, it puts pressure on groundwater in the coastal areas and that brings the water table up.

Brian YurasitsHOST
What are some of those tools that you're trying to implement at Strawberry Bank and what's shown the most promise? How do you go about coming up with a plan to get water to stop coming into these basements and this historic infrastructure there?
