The Mid-Atlantic Regional Council on the Ocean (MARCO) has identified increased understanding of the possible effects of climate change on the socio-economic assets and systems of the region as a priority need. This is based both on recent experience studying climate change and concern for the economic values that have been placed at risk. Changes in ocean temperatures and chemistry are already affecting fisheries, while the critical marine transportation facilities of the region must now address concerns about sea level rise in addition to shifting global transportation markets. New research is showing that coastal and ocean ecosystems are already changing along with the services they provide to people, and millions of people in hundreds of thousands of homes are threatened by increases in the areas subject to flooding from oceans and estuaries as well as the depth and frequency of flooding. The region examined here stretches across 63 counties and independent cities from Montauk Point to Virginia Beach and encompasses the Chesapeake Bay and the lower Delaware River. The 2016 population of these counties is more than 28.6 million with a shore-adjacent population (defined by Census tracts) of more than 14.6 million. The region is of great size and significant socio-economic diversity, ranging in population size from 2.6 million in Brooklyn (Kings County), New York, to less than 9,000 in Matthews County, Virginia. The region includes Manhattan Island (New York County), the heavily developed Jersey Shore, but also the wild dunes of Assateague and Chincoteague islands and the rural counties of the eastern shore of Chesapeake Bay.1 Vulnerability is the focus of this study, which seeks to integrate the current state of knowledge about the Mid-Atlantic region in order to identify the key pressure points on the socio-economic assets and activities of the region and to estimate the degree of vulnerability both in absolute terms and relative terms across the region. The results of this study should contribute to the . |
