A sea level rise vulnerability assessment (including coastal erosion and inundation modeling) has been completed for the shorelines of San Juan County, Washington. This tool was developed to enhance understanding among land managers, provide a scientific foundation for shoreline management decisions and improve conservation of shoreline processes critical to ecosystem health for communities throughout the Salish Sea. In order to thoughtfully convey the sea level rise vulnerability results in a focused, collaborative, and non-alarmist manner, the proposed project will create a comprehensive communication strategy that includes researching adaption strategies, creating decision support tools, and hosting focus meetings in order to understand land managers/owner's values, counter arguments and opportunities.
