This newsletter describes the results from the first of the regional workshops to develop the Everglades Report Card and 2019 System Status Report. The Southern Coastal Systems team worked with the Integration and Application Network to begin identifying key indicators and narratives of the Southern Coastal Systems for these two documents. This two-day workshop, held in Davie, Florida, was the first of three regional workshops to develop the Everglades Report Card and 2019 System Status Report.

The Department of the Interior Climate Science Centers (CSCs) and their managing organization, the National Climate Change and Wildlife Science Center at the U.S. Geological Survey, have chosen the emerging climate science field of Ecological Drought as a research focus area. This newsletter highlights the outcomes of two, one-day workshops held in Portland, OR, and Boise, ID, as part of a series of meetings at each of the nation’s eight CSCs.
