The consequences of a changing climate are expected to threaten New Jersey’s natural ecosystems and wildlife. The Barnegat Bay Partnership (BBP) has conducted a Climate Vulnerability Assessment, following USEPA guidelines, to engage stakeholders and gain consensus on the range of potential climate impacts to the Bay and its watershed. As part of the revision to their Comprehensive Conservation and Management Plan the BBP developed a list of priority goals, objectives and actions under the categories of Water Quality, Water Supply, Living Resources, and Land Use, and solicited input from regional stakeholders concerning how climate change and its effects would impact those actions.
