Abstract
In response to accelerating sea level rise and its anticipated impacts on coastal habitats and species, we developed spatial models and maps of shoreline habitat distributions in Coastal Virginia to the year 2100. This report is a culmination of a three-year effort to develop and serve geospatial data to inform land use decision making within the context of projected habitat and current elemental occurrences to promote habitat and species persistence and resilience. The project was a collaboration of the Center for Coastal Resources Management (CCRM) at the Virginia Institute of Marine Science (VIMS the Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation, Virginia Natural Heritage Program (DCR VNHP) and the former Virginia Coastal Policy Center (VCPC). The report is organized around the tasks and products for each member of the project team. The first section is reporting efforts by CCRM, followed by content describing the work done by DCR VNHP. Policy analysis by VCPC follows next with summary and conclusion by CCRM last. The complete report from DCR VNHP is included in Appendix 3.
