Secretarial Order 3289
… the United States Geological Survey (USGS) has been developing regional science centers … currently known as "regional hubs“ of the National Climate Change and Wildlife Science Center…
The Climate Change & Energy Response Council will work with USGS and other Department bureaus to rename these regional science centers as Regional Climate Science Centers and broaden their mandate …

National Climate Change & Wildlife Science Center
• MissionProvide natural resource managers with the tools and
information they need to develop and execute management strategies that address the impacts of climate change on fish, wildlife, and their habitats
• Focus on climate change adaption & impacts“Adjustment in natural or human systems in response to
actual or expected climatic change effects, to moderate harm or exploit beneficial opportunities"
