Save the Bay |
|
| Amount Requested: $ 1 million | |
| Save the Bay is participating in the Northeast Coastal Monitoring Collaborative, a private non-profit group that is working to provide a larger scale assessment of the northeast coastal waters. The data and analysis produced by the Collaborative will have great utility for many coastal managers by identifying nonpoint pollution sources, highlighting areas of focus for environmental action/restoration, and mapping the littoral zone (coast, intertidal, embayments) as impacted by sea level rise. Communities throughout New England, especially in Rhode Island, are centered around coastal lands and water and will be greatly impacted by the effects of climate change, especially by any significant rise in sea level. All scientific findings and information related to the Northeast Coastal Monitoring Collaborative will be available to the public as well as interested researchers and organizations. | |
