March 2011 - by Bill Holman and Amy Pickle
Initially conceived as an outreach pilot to increase public and local government awareness in five counties of the Albemarle-Pamlico region, our Blueprint summarizes the initial outreach efforts, includes findings and recommendations for increasing the region’s climate resilience, compiles a resource of up-to-date science on sea-level rise impacts, and serves as a first step in educating the public and decision makers about the opportunities and challenges of becoming a climate ready estuary.

Albemarle Ecological Field Site Capstone Report used to inform Nicholas Institute work on climate ready estuaries. The Albemarle Ecological Field Site (AEFS) is part of the University of North Carolina Institute for the Environment. Located in Manteo, North Carolina, AEFS is a multidisciplinary program focused on environmental issues in the Albemarle region and the sustainable management of its natural resources. AEFS fuses an extensive curriculum, individually focused internships, intense community involvement and a group capstone project, which is chosen by the Community Advisory Board (CAB), a body consisting of community members from throughout the Outer Banks. Collectively, these elements foster a broad understanding of both the challenges that face the coastal region and the possibilities for a responsible and sustainable community design.
