Sea Level Rise + Tidal Storm Surge = Bigger Storm Waves Today’s 100-yr flood event becomes a 10-yr event at ~2050. By 2100, it becomes a 1-yr event.

Swinomish Climate Change Initiative Year 1 – Technical Report (2009): - Impact assessment - Vulnerability assessment - Risk analysis Year 2 – Action Plan (2010): - Review strategies, criteria - Assess requirements - Develop/prioritize recommendations nsn.gov/climate_change/project/reports. html

Impacts on Human Health Heat-related illness (exhaustion, stroke) Respiratory problems (asthma, air quality) Opportunistic viruses (West Nile, flu) Emerging health threats (fungal, viral) Food-borne/pollution related threats (toxins, water quality)

Action Plan, Chpt 4: Cultural Tradition and Community Health “ Community wellness” addresses issues of community resilience and cultural sovereignty that are vital to preparing for significant changes health indicators -- community cohesion, food security, ceremonial use, knowledge transmission, and self determination. e.g., healing gardens, language programs

Sea Level Rise Seawalls (Armoring) Access/ Sediments (erosion) Shellfish Overview: 2013 NPLCC Pilot Study Swinomish Community Health JD

By 2100 ~27% decrease in suitable shellfish growth & harvest area Today there are roughly 20 acres suitable for growing and harvesting shellfish at Lone Tree Point JD

Community-based Indigenous health indicators (IHIs): COMMUNITY CONNECTION SELF DETERMINATION CALM MIND (BALANCE OR EMOTIONAL STABILITY) NATURAL RESOURCES SECURITY CULTURAL USE EDUCATION

Workshops Access: On a scale of 1- 4, are there enough locations available to harvest? 1. Things are very bad 2. Not very good 3. Looking pretty good 4. We’re doing great Access: On a scale of 1-4, will there be enough locations available to harvest in 2100? Now: 0% 46% 8% 2100: 18% 64% 18% 0%

NRS = Natural Resources SecurityCU = Cultural Use ED = EducationCC = Community Connection SD = Self-Determination CM = Calm Mind (Emitional Security)
