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.

Pocomoke & Nanticoke Rivers Watershed Final Report
-
This document is the final report on phase 1 of the ongoing Designing Sustainable
Landscapes (DSL) Project of the North Atlantic Landscape Conservation Cooperative
(NALCC) and includes the following:
1) Executive summary of the more detailed documentation (referenced herein) on the
Landscape Change, Assessment and Design (LCAD) model developed for the
NALCC.
2) Summary of preliminary LCAD model results for the Pocomoke and Nanticoke
Rivers watershed pilot study area in Maryland and Delaware.
3) Summary of a comparison of the coarse- and fine-filter ecological assessments in the
pilot study area, including preliminary recommendations regarding the
complimentary use of the coarse (ecological integrity) and fine (species) filters.
