National Parks Traveler Podcast | Coastal Climate Change Impacts
Manage episode 428844756 series 2533029
Along 1,600 miles of the Eastern Seaboard, from Maine to Florida, sea level rise, subsidence, and more potent storms are challenging the National Park Service to figure out how best to protect wildlife and their habitats, as well as historic structures, archaeological sites, modern infrastructure, landscapes, and, of course, visitors. In the coming months, the National Parks Traveler will be examining impacts tied to climate change and how the National Park Service is responding to them. We’ll bring you the concerns of residents and communities that are left with the damage from hurricanes and the loss of tax revenues from tourism and trace the strain these events have on the Park Service staff and budget. We’ll also talk to experts about how natural landscapes, such as barrier reefs and salt marshes, and wildlife are being impacted. We’re going to have one of those conversations today with two experts from The Nature Conservancy: Dr. Alison Branco, TNC’s Climate Adaptation Director, and Dr. Nicole Maher, the organization’s Senior Coastal Scientist.
