Ecosystem Profile Consider strengths and vulnerabilities of natural resources

Video 2 – Greenseams Go to the Roadmap website. Adjust your computer volume, if necessary. Click the ‘Greenseams’ title Watch this video and think about how this story might relate to your community.

Storm buffering Flood protection Stormwater management Erosion control Climate regulation Consider the protective functions of key natural resources

Clean air and water Healthy fisheries and wildlife habitat Recreation and tourism opportunities Sense of place Consider additional benefits of key natural resources

Development patterns Unsustainable uses Pollution Hazardous materials Consider potential stressors to key natural resources

Ecosystem Stressors Reply in chat! What are some specific examples of stressors affecting key natural resources in your area?

Development of beachfront property, adding to vulnerability and impacting dune protections Proliferation of individual docks, causing wetland impacts and losses Ecosystem Stressors

Continued development in floodplain Site specific planning Altering the natural landscape Consider current policies affects on the future vulnerability of natural resources

Tools and resources for assessing ecosystem vulnerability and resiliency Tools and Resources

Ecosystem-based Adaptation

Green Infrastructure Multi-objective planning Identify landscapes that provide community benefits Use as a dataset in the Roadmap process Trainings available through the Digital Coast….. Introducing Green Infrastructure for Coastal Resilience GIS Tools for Strategic Conservation Planning

C-CAP Land Cover Atlas Land cover and land change information for coastal regions Available through the Digital Coast Provides useful county- level summaries Data are available for download and use in GIS Produces printable PDF reports

Land cover change data sheet for 1996 to 2006 Miami-Dade County Example Natural areas converted to development

Land Cover Change data downloaded from the Land Cover Atlas

CanVis Tool Visualization Alternatives Communication

Environmentally Endangered Lands (EEL) Program Because of EEL, the public now owns: 17,275 acres 150 acres of Tree Island, Prairie, & Scrub 190 acres of Tropical Hardwood Hammock 550 acres of Pine Rockland 16,385 acres of Freshwater & Coastal Wetlands

Exercise: Ecosystem Profile What natural resources would you conserve to prepare for hazards and climate change?
