Mitigation and Adaptation Strategy: Educate and Coordinate

• Many people associate climate change with increased storms and sea level rise, not the types of impacts that are taking place right now in our watershed. Educating the public about the changes that are taking place and the mitigation strategies that are available is therefore a critical, immediate need.
• Coordinate conservation plans among different conservation groups and among different towns. Municipalities and conservation groups can work across town boundaries on ecological strategies and habitat protection. By sharing plans, larger and more effective protected areas can be created.
