Media for Assateague Island National Seashore Climate Change

Illustration map of barrier islands located along the Atlantic coast from Maine to Mexico. — USA: Barrier Islands on the Atlantic and Gulf…

Conceptual diagram illustrating the effects of climate change on polar ice. There are two kinds of polar ice - ice that floats on the sea (sea ice) or ice that sits on land (land ice). The experiment demonstrates that sea ice does not impact sea-level rise when it melts, but land ice does add to sea-level rise when it melts into the ocean. — Experiment Demonstrating Melting Ice

Conceptual diagram illustrating what a waterfront owner can do to protect their property from climate change. Existing structures can be elevated in low-lying areas, and eco-friendly living shorelines can be implemented, to lessen climate change effects like flooding. — Elevation and Living Shoreline

Conceptual diagram illustrating changes due to the warming of the atmosphere. The average temperature on Earth has been increasing for many years, caused by increased greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Rising temperatures lead to a number of changes around the world. — Atmosphere Warming Changes

Typha x glauca (White Cattail)

Conceptual diagram illustrating different monitoring activities implemented on Assateague Island to track changing habitats. Monitoring activities - which are habitat specific - include water quality, seagrass area, salt marsh nekton survey, surface elevation table, plover nests and fledgling success, upland elevation change, shoreline rate of change, and beach topography. — Monitoring Activities to Track Changing Habitats…

A sensitive species, seabeach amaranth is aided at Assateague Island National Seashore by a management program that protects a portion of the annual population from being eaten and trampled by horses and deer so they can mature and produce seeds. Conservation efforts have helped the plant population increase to nearly 2,200 individuals in 2007. — Cages protect seabeach amaranth (Amaranthus…
