The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has announced the publication of the "Climate Ready Estuaries 2011 Progress Report," which describes program accomplishments as well as the new National Estuary Program projects launched during 2011. The progress report also uses examples from Climate Ready Estuaries projects started in 2008-2010 to show how the risk management paradigm can be used for climate change adaptation. Climate Ready Estuaries is an EPA program intended to help the National Estuary Programs and coastal managers plan for climate change. Climate Ready Estuaries works with National Estuary Programs to: (1) assess climate change vulnerabilities, (2) develop and implement adaptation strategies, and (3) engage and educate stakeholders.
