The Coastal Georgia Ecosystem Report Card was developed through a collaborative effort between the staff at Georgia Department of Natural Resources, Coastal Resources Division, Environmental Protection Division, Wildlife Resources Division and the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science, Integration & Application Network. This report card provides a transparent, timely, and geographically detailed assessment of Coastal Georgia.

This poster illustrates some results from work on a climate change resilience index for Chesapeake Bay. One aspect analyzed in the index was coastal wetland resilience to sea level rise. Overall, coastal wetlands currently have good resilience but under future sea level rise rates coastal wetlands will have moderate to very poor resilience.

n 2014, the Meyer Memorial Trust brought together more than 20 university, agency, and technical experts to help create the first Willamette River report card. With support from the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science, the team of experts identified key indicators to capture a current picture of river health against which to measure future changes. Overall, the Willamette River scored a B-.

The Report Card measured six broad goals for America's Watershed - Ecosystems, Flood Control & Risk Reduction, Transportation, Water Supply, Economy, and Recreation. The Report Card Measures how well we are currently meeting each one of these goals, using real data and relevant information that was identified by experts in these fields. Over time, as we adapt our management strategies for the Mississippi River Watershed, the Report Card can track progress in achieving objectives.

This newsletter summarizes the outcomes from the workshop to develop the Guaviare River Basin Report Card. This is one of three tributaries to the Orinoco River that report cards are being developed for in Colombia, and the third workshop for this effort. Values, threats, and indicators were the key items determined in the three day workshop that took place in San José del Guaviare, Colombia.

Este boletín resume los resultados del taller para desarrollar el Reporte de la cuenca del río Guaviare. Este es uno de los tres afluentes del río Orinoco que las boletas de calificaciones se están desarrollando en Colombia, y el tercero taller para este esfuerzo. Los valores, las amenazas y los indicadores fueron los elementos clave determinados en el taller de tres días que tuvo lugar en San José del Guaviare, Colombia.

This report card provides a transparent, timely, and geographically detailed assessment of Chesapeake Bay. In 2014, the report card includes five water quality indicators and two biotic indicators. In 2014, the overall grade for Chesapeake Bay is a 50%, a C. This means the Bay is in moderate health. A fisheries index and climate change resilience index as well as trajectories of reporting region health are also presented. For further details, visit the Report Card website.

Over the past five years the Restoring the Rookery Bay Estuary Project has focused on collaborative watershed management through hydrologic, ecologic, and social science research, education, and partnerships. This fact sheet describes the types of habitat found in Rookery Bay and makes management recommendations to restore lost habitat.

Over the past five years the Restoring the Rookery Bay Estuary Project has focused on collaborative watershed management through hydrologic, ecologic, and social science research, education, and partnerships. This fact sheet describes the flow of water in Rookery Bay and makes management recommendations to restore freshwater flows to the Rookery Bay watershed.
