- 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.
