Download or read book Climate Impacts to the Nearshore Marine Environment and Coastal Communities written by National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2011-08-31 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Global and regional changes to the marine environment associated with climate change may have significant consequences for coral reef ecosystems, coastal communities, and maritime heritage resources relevant to the Fagatele Bay National Marine Sanctuary (FBNMS). Regional physical changes to the marine environment include climate variability, sea level rise, ocean circulation patterns, and ocean acidification. These changes combined with anthropogenic stressors may produce cumulative impacts on biodiversity and ecosystem health including changes in physiology, phenology, and population connectivity, and species range shift. This paper identifies and synthesizes potential climate change impacts in American Samoa and the region over the next fifty years. This information will help inform priority management actions for the Sanctuary to take to respond to the impacts of climate change on natural systems and human activities within American Samoa.

Download or read book Climate Resiliency Responses and Actions for Amouli Village American Samoa written by Amouli Resiliency Planning Committee and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 17 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Global climate change is acknowledged as the greatest environmental concern of our time. Human activities have affected the land, oceans, and atmosphere, and these changes in turn have altered global climate patterns. Over the 20th century, the Earth's global average surface temperature has risen significantly, with projected continued increases affecting the environment as well as human livelihoods. Expected global climate impacts include: (1) an increase in the frequency of extreme weather events, (2) changes in precipitation patterns, (3) changes in sea-level rise, (4) changes in ocean temperatures, and (5) increased ocean acidification. Coastal communities are particularly vulnerable to climate change due to their proximity to and reliance on the ocean. In order to better prepare for potential climate impacts, communities must work to be resilient to the impacts derived from climate change. A climate resilient community can cope with and recover quickly from difficult conditions caused by the adverse effects of climate change, including climate related hazards and disasters (UNDP 2008). In order to be more resilient to climate impacts, a community can participate in advance planning for climate change, work to prevent predicted impacts when possible, and try to adapt and mitigate to climate change impacts"--Introduction.
