What are the climate change risks to our region’s watershed resources?

How can we work together to increase the resilience of North Bay ecosystems to climate change?

Significant climate change is inevitable.

Science & Technology

Down-scale global climate models, predict localized climate

Predict response of landscape to future climate

Use Conservation Commons to share and analyse data

Interpret science for decision-makers and the public

Design and implement a climate response monitoring plan

NBWA-funded project

Flint and Flint 2009

Watershed summaries of changes to runoff, recharge, and stream discharge

Overlay climate effects on BAOSC landscape units and ecological resources of concern.

Evaluate implications for a range of watershed project types.

Habitat Restoration & Stewardship

Restore and protect key areas

Increase resilience of lands and waters

Educate and work with large landowners, including ag, especially near streams, wetlands, and corridors

“North Bay”

Cutting-edge integration of climate with water and land use:

water supply approaches, restoration goals, flood planning, stormwater management
