Climate Vulnerability Assessment for Olympic Coast National Marine Sanctuary (ID473)

This report summarizes the outcomes of the Olympic Coast National Marine Sanctuary Climate Vulnerability Assessment workshop. The information includes an overview of the vulnerability of select focal resources found within the sanctuary to the projected impacts of climate change. These assessments of vulnerability were determined through subject matter expert opinion as a result of the workshop process described in the report, and were informed by published science on the current and projected future environmental conditions within the sanctuary, as well as the impacts of climate change on the focal resources assessed. The information contained within the report will be used to inform management actions and scientific research within Olympic Coast National Marine Sanctuary and the National Marine Sanctuary System.
