Management & Adaptation Actions
Once the Partnership Steering Committee develops a common understanding of the issues in the project area that may impede progress towards the community vision, they will then identify voluntary management and adaptation actions that will help ensure progress towards the vision while also addressing changes resulting from climate and land use. Because not all the actions can take place at once, the committee will prioritize those actions based on collectively agreed upon criteria. Committee members will then help the Partnership project team find and secure project funding and help to implement projects as appropriate.
What is Adaptation? Adaptation refers to the practical steps communities can take to protect themselves from the likely disruption and damage resulting from changing watershed conditions. For example, thinning local forests (where fire fuels have been allowed to build up) to prepare for potential increased chances of wildfire. Adaptation also includes the development of strategies to take advantage of opportunities provided by changing conditions.Keep an eye on this section of the web page for descriptions and updates of the management and adaptation projects that get implemented as part of the Partnership for Coastal Watersheds.
