Terrestrial Habitat Map for the Northeast U.S. and Atlantic Canada
-
Ecological processes don't stop at international borders, and neither will climate change. In order to understand how climate change will impact forested, agricultural, and wetland systems, resource managers on both sides of the border need to be able to see a continuous landscape. This web mapping tool lets users look at the full habitat picture from the North Atlantic United States to Atlantic Canada and southern Quebec, based on field-collected data and national and provincial datasets.

Decision Support Framework for Sea-level Rise Impacts
-
Loss of land as a result of increasing sea level is among the gravest threats that climate change poses to coastal areas, and one of the most difficult to prepare for because different beaches, barriers, and marshes can respond to sea level rise in various dynamic ways. By distinguishing between areas in the Northeast that are likely to experience flooding as a result of sea-level rise and those that are likely to respond dynamically to sea-level rise by moving or changing, this report offers a resource to support coastal management decisions at both regional and local scales in the context of accelerated change.

Estuarine Fish Habitat Assessment and Winter Flounder Pilot Study
-
As part of a suite of aquatic habitat assessments and tools designed to support conservation efforts in the Northeast region, the environmental consulting firm Downstream Strategies developed predictive models for estuarine habitat in Narragansett Bay and Long Island Sound, using winter flounder as the focal species to pilot the approach. This study describes the development of a flexible modeling process that can help scientists better understand the distribution, status, threats, and relative abundance of resources in dynamic aquatic habitats.

The Vulnerabilities of Northeastern Fish and Wildlife Habitats to Sea Level Rise
-
Sea level rise poses a major new threat to the conservation of important coastal ecological
resources in the Northeast and elsewhere. As yet, our ability to project habitat and species
vulnerabilities to this threat is constrained by methodological limitations and a lack of research.
Nevertheless, if we are to manage and conserve these resources, on which huge investments have
been made over the last few decades, it is vital that we begin to understand vulnerabilities and
the factors responsible for them. In this report we review the scientific literature to evaluate our
current understanding of the vulnerabilities of fish and wildlife habitats in the northeastern
coastal zone to sea level rise (SLR); identify the major sources of uncertainty; and suggest future
research that will help us continue to conserve these coastal ecological resources. Specifically,
we evaluate the extent to which existing studies, data sets and tools allow us to infer reliable
conclusions about the likely vulnerabilities and fates of coastal habitats for fish and wildlife, the
uncertainties that surround these conclusions due to the shortcomings of the existing datasets and
tools, and how future research and conservation activities might help reduce such uncertainties.
By bringing together the current scientific information on climate change and coastal ecological
resource vulnerabilities in the Northeast, this review is intended primarily for resource managers
who are charged with making practical decisions about land management.
