The latest climate-change science and how it can be used by natural resource agencies is the focus of a two-day workshop January 29-30 in San Francisco.

Sponsored by the U.S Fish and Wildlife Service and the U.S. Geological Survey, the workshop will feature speakers from NOAA, the Minerals Management Service, U.S. Forest Service, Washington Department of Natural Resources, California Resources Agency, The Nature Conservancy, PRBO Conservation Science, the National Wildlife Federation and Stanford University.

Natural resource scientists and managers will gather to share information and identify strategies to conserve coastal ecosystems and address the challenges associated with climate change. Results of the workshop will lead to continued partnerships of interagency working groups addressing key issues.
