3.3.3 Video: Climate Change Vulnerability Assessment for Shorebird Habitat

An Introduction to the Climate Change Vulnerability Assessment for Shorebird Habitat (CC-VASH) from Dorie Stolley on Vimeo.

This is a useful decision-making tool for site managers of coastal shorebird habitat. In spreadsheet format, it guides managers through a series of exercises to assess both the vulnerability and the value of habitat that supports shorebirds. Then, strategies are developed to address the stressors of greatest concern on those habitats. Watch the video to get a brief overview of the tool, and hear from a refuge manager and a biologist who have used it to great benefit.
