Coastal Areas Impacts and Climate Change Adaptation Website

Erin Derrington — 2012-11-09T02:20:00Z

The Coastal Areas Impacts and Climate Change Adaptation Website offers assessments of climate change impacts and adaptation efforts by region or by sector. It also provides additional resources, including an adaptation overview, which highlights examples of adaptation and ongoing adaptation efforts.

Coastal Climate Adaptation Website provides resources on climate adaptation that can aid in conservation planning to address climate impacts.

USFWS's Climate Change Website

Kimberly Seese — 2012-03-07T22:20:00Z

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) Climate Change website emphasizes adaptation, mitigation and engagement to address impacts to wildlife and natural habitat. USFWS's efforts to address climate change issues are detailed in Rising to the Urgent Challenge: Strategic Plan for Responding to Accelerating Climate Change. The website also hosts climate related news and publications.

The Shoreline Management Toolbox

Kimberly Seese — 2012-03-07T22:20:00Z

Shoreline erosion is a natural process. However, sea level rise and poorly planned shoreline development projects can accelerate natural erosion rates. The Shoreline Management Toolbox presents alternative approaches for human uses and development near the shoreline.

Smart Growth and Climate Change Website

Kimberly Seese — 2012-03-07T22:20:00Z

Smart Growth and Climate Change Website does extensive research at the intersection of climate change and land use/development. Its website provides links both to EPA and outside resources that can help communities direct future development in ways that preserve open space, create livable neighborhoods, and minimize greenhouse gas emissions.

Conserving Coastal Wetlands for Sea Level Rise Adaptation

Kimberly Seese — 2012-03-07T22:20:00Z

Conserving Coastal Wetlands for Sea Level Rise Adaptation provides spatial techniques, resources, and examples to help communities identify coastal wetland and other vulnerabilities in the face of sea level rise―and to prioritize wetland conservation efforts that incorporate sea level rise considerations.

Coastal Inundation Toolkit

Kimberly Seese — 2012-03-07T22:20:00Z

Coastal Inundation Toolkit assists users with planning and abatement of inundation. The tools included throughout the Toolkit help coastal communities evaluate and visualize inundation changes with their local infrastructure and aid residents in creating plans for adaptation. The Toolkit is designed to help communities determine their coastal flooding vulnerability and what steps they can take to reduce this risk and can be a valuable resource for incorporating climate change impacts into conservation planning.

Climate Smart Habitat Conservation

Kimberly Seese — 2012-03-07T22:20:00Z

Climate Smart Habitat Conservation provides information and links on the benefits of incorporating climate change into coastal habitat conservation efforts.

Climate Ready Estuaries Coastal Toolkit

Kimberly Seese — 2012-03-07T22:20:00Z

The Climate Ready Estuaries Coastal Toolkit provides resources for estuaries, coastal programs and other organizations that are interested in learning more about climate change impacts and adaptation. The Toolkit pages provide information and links to websites, reports, and other resources related to the following areas: monitoring climate change; coastal vulnerability and adaptation tools; smart growth in the context of climate change; communications and outreach materials; where to find data; adaptation planning; and sustainable financing options.
