Abstract

Results of a vulnerability assessment of the Indian River Lagoon to climate change indicate future risks to water quality can be mitigated through adaptation actions targeting anticipated increases in pollutant loads from wastewater treatment plants, on site treatment and disposal systems, and surface water storage and conveyance infrastructure. Nine adaptation actions are recommended and if successfully implemented could reduce risks caused by climate change by fifty percent. The mitigating benefits of these actions are expected to cascade into other elements of the Lagoon, like living resources and habitats. The results and recommendations of this investigation are novel because they are based upon site-specific data and anticipated risks prioritized using a repeatable and defensible methodology. Furthermore, the focus and deliverables were informed by stakeholder involvement to facilitate utility to and implementation by resource practitioners. The next challenge is to implement, monitor, and revise each adaptation action as warranted. This will require a substantial increase in funding dedicated to the Lagoon’s restoration and coherently managed for decades. Strengthened collaboration between local, state, and federal programs is necessary to enhance the probability of successfully reducing future climate-related water quality impairments and facilitating the emergence of a more resilient, climate-ready estuary.

减少气候变化对印度河泻湖水质造成损害的适应行动,美国佛罗里达

摘要

印度河泻湖对气候变化的脆弱性评估结果表明,可通过针对预期来自废水处理厂,现场处理和处置系统以及地表水存储和输送基础设施的污染物负荷预期增加的适应行动来减轻未来的水质风险。建议采取九种适应措施,如果成功实施,可以将气候变化造成的风险降低百分之五十。预计这些行动的减轻收益将渗入泻湖的其他元素,例如生物资源和栖息地。这项调查的结果和建议是新颖的,因为它们基于特定地点的数据,并使用可重复且可辩护的方法对预期风险进行了优先排序。此外,利益相关者的参与告知了重点和可交付成果,以促进资源从业者的效用和实施。下一个挑战是根据需要实施,监视和修订每个适应措施。这将需要大量增加用于修复泻湖并连贯管理数十年的资金。必须加强地方,州和联邦计划之间的合作,以提高成功减少未来与气候相关的水质损害的可能性,并促进出现更具适应性的,适应气候变化的河口。这将需要大量增加用于修复泻湖并连贯管理数十年的资金。必须加强地方,州和联邦计划之间的合作,以提高成功减少未来与气候相关的水质损害的可能性,并促进出现更具适应性的,适应气候变化的河口。这将需要大量增加用于修复泻湖并连贯管理数十年的资金。必须加强地方,州和联邦计划之间的合作,以提高成功减少未来与气候相关的水质损害的可能性,并促进出现更具适应性的,适应气候变化的河口。
