ESIP’s core goal of providing information on change in the Gulf of Maine keeps intersecting the needs of other initiatives in the
region.

How does ESIP intersect with Climate Change?ESIP tackled priority indicators for Gulf of
Maine by looking at seven theme areas – one of which was climate change.
Three* priority indicators were selected for climate change. 22 ESIP indicators in TOTAL.Sea level
Precipitation, particularly trends in extreme precipitation
Air temperature, particularly trends in seasons

Can we talk about climate change adaptations without a baseline?
Hm…..

Do you follow me?Knowing baselines allows for appropriate
adaptation discussions.Seeing changes at local sites also engages
communities.Engaged communities can participate more
in active adaptation.
